You're here because you are facing a personal transition that may have legal consequences. You may be facing a Divorce, Child Custody, or DCS challenge. You may also be seeking information about Estate Planning, like a Trust or a Will. For many possible conflicts, Collaborative Process may be a worthwhile resource to explore.

For years, our firm’s mission has been to make collaborative law available to everyone in Arizona. Family law attorneys can influence the way a crisis impacts a family. In litigation, people can be dehumanized and disrespected. In Collaborative Process, you have a voice.

Arizona Rule of Court 67.1 has existed since 2016. Rule 67.1 makes Collaborative Law available in any case involving divorce, legal separation, child custody, parenting time, relocation of a child, child support, or adoption. Families in crisis deserve an option to recover financially, emotionally, mentally, socially, privately and with dignity. While an estimated 5-10% of cases are not appropriate for Collaborative Law, the vast majority of families can use Collaborative Process to common ground for people to rebuild their lives in the midst of legal crises.
