Q.

How much does it cost to file for custody in Phoenix, AZ?

A.

Filing for custody in Phoenix or anywhere in Arizona involves several potential costs, including court filing fees, legal representation, and additional expenses such as mediation or evaluations.

As of now, the filing fee for a child custody case in Maricopa County is approximately $300, though fees can vary, and there may be additional costs for subsequent motions or modifications. Some individuals may qualify for a fee waiver or deferral based on financial need.

Q.

What do Arizona judges look for in child custody cases?

A.

In Arizona child custody cases, judges strive to prioritize the best interests of the child when making decisions.

This involves considering several factors, including the child’s relationship with each parent, the parents’ ability to cooperate in decision-making, and each parent’s willingness to encourage a relationship between the child and the other parent.

Judges also evaluate the child’s adjustment to home, school, and community, as well as the mental and physical health of all parties involved. They may also consider any history of domestic violence or substance abuse, the child’s wishes if they are of suitable age and maturity, and the parents’ ability to provide a stable and loving environment.

In most cases, Arizona law encourages joint custody arrangements, but the specific circumstances will determine the final outcome.

Q.

Do you need a lawyer to get divorced in Arizona?

A.

While it is not legally required to hire a lawyer to get divorced in Arizona, professional legal representation can significantly benefit your case, especially if there are complex issues such as child custody, property division, or spousal support.
