Key Takeaways:
Divorce asks you to make life-altering decisions about your children, your finances, and your future while you’re still coming to terms with the end of a relationship you expected to last. It’s a lot to carry, and you shouldn’t have to navigate it alone or with attorneys who treat your case like just another file to process.
At Moshier Law, our Maricopa County divorce attorneys recognize what’s really on the line here—your ability to stay present in your children’s lives, your financial stability, and your chance to move forward on solid ground. We bring 39+ years of combined experience to every case, and we don’t deal in empty promises. Our results speak for themselves: thousands of families helped, real outcomes achieved, and futures protected through thoughtful, strategic advocacy.
We’re hands-on from the moment you reach out, diving into the details of your situation and staying engaged through resolution rather than handing you off to junior staff or letting your case gather dust. Your voice matters throughout this process, and we make sure your priorities shape our strategy—not the other way around.

Divorce in Arizona means untangling several interconnected issues that will reshape both your family structure and your financial reality. Understanding what’s involved helps you make informed decisions at every turn.
What many states call “custody,” Arizona refers to as legal decision-making and parenting time. Legal decision-making determines which parent has authority over major choices affecting your children—things like education, healthcare, and religious upbringing. Parenting time establishes how you and your spouse will share time with your kids.
For most parents going through divorce, this is the issue that matters most. Your relationship with your children and your ability to remain actively involved in their daily lives depends on reaching arrangements that genuinely reflect their needs and your family’s circumstances. Our Maricopa County divorce attorneys help you develop parenting plans that work in practice, not just on paper.
Arizona follows community property rules, which means nearly everything acquired during your marriage—homes, vehicles, retirement accounts, investments, business interests, and debts—is considered jointly owned and subject to equal division, no matter whose name is on the title or who earned the income.
While the law starts with a 50/50 presumption, that split isn’t always what makes the most sense for your situation. Our team negotiates alternative arrangements when a different division better serves your financial interests and future stability.
Spousal support isn’t guaranteed in Arizona divorces. Courts consider factors like the length of your marriage, each spouse’s income and earning capacity, contributions one spouse made to the other’s education or career, and the standard of living you maintained together.
Whether you’re concerned about being asked to pay support or you need assistance securing it, we ensure any arrangements reflect both Arizona law and the economic realities of your situation.
How your divorce unfolds depends significantly on whether you and your spouse can reach agreements or need a judge to decide disputed issues.
Uncontested divorces—where couples resolve all matters outside of court—typically move faster, cost considerably less, and keep your family’s private information out of public records. Contested cases, by contrast, require court involvement, create public documentation, take longer to resolve, and involve higher legal expenses.
Our Maricopa County divorce attorneys help you understand which path makes sense for your circumstances and work toward the most efficient resolution possible.
At Moshier Law, we believe you deserve more than a one-track path to divorce. While litigation is sometimes unavoidable, many families benefit from alternative approaches that reduce conflict, lower costs, and let you maintain more control over outcomes.
Mediation brings you, your spouse, and a neutral third-party mediator together to work through disputed issues in a structured setting. The mediator guides productive conversation, helps clarify disagreements, explores each person’s underlying concerns, and assists you in evaluating potential solutions—but doesn’t take sides, offer legal advice, or make decisions for you.
This approach offers real advantages for Maricopa County families: lower costs than litigation, faster timelines, complete privacy since nothing enters public court records, and the flexibility to craft solutions tailored to your family rather than accepting generic court orders.
Collaborative Process offers a fundamentally different way to divorce—one that keeps you and your spouse in control rather than handing decisions to a judge. Both parties sign a commitment agreement pledging to work through issues respectfully and transparently, supported by your respective attorneys and neutral experts like financial professionals, child specialists, and divorce coaches.
Unlike traditional litigation, where the adversarial process takes on a life of its own once it begins, Collaborative Process allows you to pause when needed, voice concerns openly, and adjust your approach without triggering courtroom battles or financial penalties. This method often saves money, preserves the possibility of a cooperative co-parenting relationship, and lets you direct your energy toward building your future instead of fighting about the past.
Our founder and managing attorney, Jennifer Moshier, brings over 20 years of collaborative law training and experience to families seeking this path. She understands how to guide clients through the process effectively while ensuring their rights and interests remain protected.
Some divorces simply can’t be resolved cooperatively. Whether due to fundamental disagreements, a spouse who refuses to negotiate in good faith, domestic violence concerns, or suspicions about hidden assets, litigation sometimes becomes the only viable path forward.
When that happens, our Maricopa County divorce attorneys step into the role of fierce advocates. We know Maricopa County family court procedures inside and out, we understand how local judges tend to approach contested issues, and we build compelling cases while anticipating what opposing counsel might throw at you. When your children’s welfare or your financial security requires aggressive representation, we don’t back down.
