Phoenix Custody Lawyer
At The Law Office of John R. Gaertner, we bring more than 20 years of practice experience to people throughout the Valley of the Sun in Arizona. We place a premium on personal service and attention, taking the time to carefully explain to you the law and the process, as well as your options and likelihood of success. If you hire us, you will always work directly with attorney Gaertner or his experienced paralegal, never with an inexperienced associate or staff member.
An Overview of Our Practice
We offer comprehensive counsel to men and women in divorce and family law matters, handling issues related to:
- Child custody and visitation, including concerns about joint legal custody
- Child support, from the determination of support to child support modification requests
- Spousal maintenance or alimony
- The division of marital property, including the valuation of business interests
Whether you are seeking legal separation, have filed for divorce, need assistance with modification proceedings, or want to pursue an annulment of your marriage, we will guide you through each stage of the process.
Our experience with highly complex family law matters allows us to provide counsel on a broad range of divorce issues, from grandparents' rights to the rights of custodial and non-custodial parents in move-aways or relocations. We also work with married or unmarried parents in paternity disputes, and provide counsel to same-sex partners after the breakup of a domestic partnership.
We can help you seek or challenge an order of protection, as well as an injunction against harassment and we have considerable experience assisting men and women in situations involving domestic violence, as well as instances where the safety and well-being of minor children is jeopardized by mental health or substance abuse issues.
We represent biological parents or stepparents when disputes arise, and will help obtain the termination of parental rights, so that you can move forward with a stepparent adoption.
Though we are experienced trial attorneys who are always willing and able to protect your rights in court, we will also encourage you to consider mediation, arbitration or other means of alternative dispute resolution to settle your differences.
