Some might think that family law attorneys in Phoenix, Arizona, who are handling a divorce or separation primarily work to make sure that their clients' interests in property are protected vis a vi the other party in the divorce.
Criminal charges related to custody and possible defenses
This blog has previously discussed how courts can enforce parenting plans when one parent, or other person for that matter, hides the child from the other parent or otherwise refuses to return the child to the parent who has custody. For a number of reasons, many of which are legitimate, parents seriously break the terms of a parenting plan or do so violate child custody orders with such frequency that they may face criminal charges, either instead of or in addition to a civil contempt.
What is considered non-marital property?
As this blog has mentioned before, Arizona is a community property state. In the context of a divorce, this means that, generally speaking, marital property is split 50-50 between the spouses. Incidentally, even couples with no intention of splitting need to be aware of our community property laws.
