Here are just a few of the common cases we handle:
How Much Will My Case Cost?
To petition the court for divorce, legal separation, or annulment, the
court costs will amount to about $300. To see a list of each petition
and its corresponding fee, visit the
family court fees for the Superior Court of Maricopa County.
Do I Have to Go to Court for Divorce?
Because divorce must be filed in court, the person who petitions for divorce
must spend at least some time in a courthouse. After papers are served,
however, you can minimize your time in court dramatically by pursuing
uncontested divorce, mediation, or
collaborative divorce.
These options allow a couple to resolve key issues related to their dissolution
– including alimony and custody – without resorting to litigation.
Because it is sometimes advisable to settle your differences in court,
you should always consult with a Mesa family lawyer before deciding on
an approach or attempting to negotiate the terms of your divorce.
