Divorce and Legal Separation in Arizona
Located in Kingman, Arizona, The Law Offices of Shawn B. Hamp, P.C. represents men and women in the Mohave County area and throughout Northwestern Arizona in dissolution of marriage matters, as well as their post-divorce modification issues. We understand the emotional and stressful toll a change in your family status can take on you and your children, and we work with you to minimize your stress by explaining to you the family law process, your options, and your rights.
Experienced Mohave County Lawyer Handling All Your Family Law Needs
Arizona has a 90 day residency requirement before a petition for dissolution of marriage can be filed. As an experienced divorce lawyer, Shawn Hamp can assist you with all aspects of your divorce, legal separation or annulment, including:
Divorce planning and preparation prior to a divorce if you are contemplating dissolving your marriage
Filing a divorce petition or responding to divorce or dissolution of marriage papers if you have been served — we can handle a contested divorce or uncontested divorce
Child custody issues — including determining physical child custody and legal child custody, identifying child visitation (sometimes referred to as parenting time) schedules, and assisting with modification of custody or visitation when necessary
Child support matters — including establishing child support and assisting with child support enforcement issues
Spousal support — sometimes referred to as alimony or spousal maintenance, the amount of spousal support (and if support should even be ordered) is determined on a case-by-case basis
Division of marital property — Arizona is a community property state. If property division (division of marital assets and debts) is handled by the court, the court will attempt to equitably (fairly) divide any assets acquired during the marriage. Many factors are considered to determine what is fair. Asset and business valuations are also necessary in some situations to ensure property and debt settlements are fair. We can assist in asset classification and valuation issues, discovery of hidden assets, and other marital property issues.
Post-divorce modifications — including child custody and visitation modifications, child support modifications, and spousal support modifications
Arizona is considered a no-fault divorce state. Therefore, the circumstances triggering the divorce will not be considered in dividing marital assets and marital debts or in determining alimony. We can effectively represent your interests throughout the divorce process.
We can also advise clients on divorce related matters involving:
When to file for divorce when divorce and bankruptcy go hand in hand
How to deal with complex issues regarding foreclosure and marital property equity concerns during divorce
Addressing the unique issues in a military divorce, such as division of retirement pension benefits
Determining if a premarital or post marital agreement should control asset and debt division or other issues in divorce
