Chandler

Sunny suburban neighborhood with red-colored houses in Chandler, Arizona

Chandler, a city in Maricopa County, Arizona, has experienced significant growth in recent years. The city is known as the innovation and technology hub of the Southwest and is ranked as one of the fastest-growing municipalities in the country. Despite this growth, Chandler has retained its charm, due in part to the city’s revitalized downtown which boasts the award-winning Chandler City Hall and Chandler Center for the Arts.

With a population approaching 260,000, residents of Chandler, like those in many other cities in Arizona, can be confronted with family law disputes, such as divorce, child custody, paternity and even domestic violence.

How Our Chandler Family Law Attorney Handles Divorce

Our legal team can help you work through the complex issues typically associated with divorce: the division of marital property, spousal support, child custody, parenting time, and child support. Although these matters can become highly contentious, we have the negotiating skills that are essential for reaching workable solutions. Above all, we are committed to helping you restore balance to your family.

Mediation in Chandler, Arizona

Divorce mediation is designed to be a more civil way to negotiate a marital breakup. Additionally, in cases involving minor children, the parties must use the mediation process to agree on a parenting plan before the court will grant a divorce. At Cohen Family Law, we will provide you with trustworthy advice and objective insights throughout the mediation process so that you can make the best decisions about your future.

Child Custody in Chandler Arizona

Arizona has revised the concepts of custody and visitation by recognizing the equal rights of mothers and fathers in raising their children. At the same time, the spouses must be able to establish primary custodial rights and visitation rights through a negotiated parenting plan. If the parties cannot agree, the court will intervene to make those decisions. Our legal team will work to protect your parental rights and help you reach a solution that is in the best interests of your children.

How Our Chandler Family Attorney Handles Parenting Time

Parenting time, or visitation, is intended to provide non-custodial parents quality contact with their children. Parenting time may include one or more weeknights, alternating weekends and school holidays, and one or more vacation periods. Our processes are designed to make decisions about child custody and parenting less contentious and minimize the harm children often endure during a marital breakup.

Child Support in Chandler, Arizona

Generally, child support determinations consider which parent has primary custody, visitation rights of the noncustodial parent, as well as income discrepancies. At the same time, Arizona has an established formula that calculates each parent’s income, the number of children, their ages and educational and medical needs. The best way to protect your interests and the well-being of your children is to work with a highly skilled family law attorney.

Paternity in Chandler, Arizona

At times, the identity of a child’s biological father may be in question, which makes establishing paternity necessary to determine parental rights, as well as child custody and child support matters. If you are looking to establish your father’s rights, our family law attorneys will work to protect your interests. Similarly, we can help you obtain support for a child you have in common with a man to whom you have not been married.Stepparent AdoptionsIf you wish to formalize the bond with your spouse’s child, our family law attorneys can guide you through all phases of the adoption process.
