I fired my attorney, right in front of the "mediator", and she told me "all the lawyers here are interchangeable. They're going to tell you the same thing. " Had i only known i needed to say it to the judge. Maybe it wouldn't have made a difference at all.

The Arizona Bar handles complaints about lawyers.
As for having their own firm, it really doesn't make a difference.
If you think of suing your lawyer, you really should speak to a legal malpractice attorney before you file anything.

You asked this question to Arizona attorneys. We can't advise you on Nevada law. You may want to reask this question in the Nevada forum.

I'm presuming the house was awarded to you in the Divorce Decree. If so, ask your ex-husband to sign a Quit Claim Deed to you to clear title. If he refuses, you can file to enforce the order.

I looked, but I cannot find such a law.
For example, ARS 13-3102 prohibits people from bringing firearms to polling places, schools, and nuclear power plants, but says nothing about churches. See ARS 13-3102(A)(11)-(13).
It does state that in the contract I received when I got service 3 years ago
answered on Jan 24, 2023
If that's what the contract says, that's what you are obligated to do.
Is that legal in Arizona? Yes, it is. In Arizona, people are bound by the terms of the contracts they sign.

In writing, tell him he has 30 days to remove the items from your garage and that if he does not remove them by that date, you will dispose of his remaining belongings, and then wait another 30 days before you remove them.
This came after I threatened my ex to have my son's mouth fixed because he had a mouthful of bad teeth.

I'm sorry that I didn't see this sooner. I hope your son is with you now.
If he is not, you need to talk to a family law attorney in the state where he currently is about what you need to do to get that state to enforce the order of this Court.
If he is in Arizona,... Read more »

If you want them prosecuted, you need to make a police report.
You should also get a restraining order. Harassing and stalking can be difficult crimes on which to get a conviction, but someone violates a restraining order, that's much easier.

You should ask this to the juvenile section, as guardianship in Arizona is handled by the juvenile courts, not the family law courts.
We are in the process of child support from father. His girlfriend said all communications have to go through his lawyer about the kids behavior and did not allow us to speak to him about the child’s behavior.

If that's what he is requesting you do, you should do it. Explain to the lawyer what is going on. A good lawyer will take to Father and say, "Telling the other parent to communicate through me about the children does not help your case."
Be patient on child support. The... Read more »

Child support is determined by a formula. There's no way we can answer that question without doing the formula, and you haven't given us enough information to run the formula.
You can find a child support calculator online and see how the numbers play out. You should run two... Read more »

I agree with Ms. Sirlin. Check your Parenting Plan, and if there's a non-disparagement clause (i.e., don't say anything negative about the other parent) or a clause about not discussing the case with the minor child, you should enforce.
I'd recommend consulting with an... Read more »

The question really hinges on whether he is current for the 2022 tax year. He can be behind overall, but if he paid all that was he supposed to in 2022, he can claim the child. If he didn't, you can claim the child. Remember: The parent not claiming the child needs to sign Form 8332 in order... Read more »

I'm not entirely sure what you are asking.
If you discovered bank accounts that were not included in the Decree, you can ask the Court to revisit the Decree and include them as after-discovered assets.
If you feel you were shortchanged because you didn't have an attorney,... Read more »
We have joint custody, even time split between the two of us, and my ex came to a place we were having dinner at and took my daughter from me and won't let me see her.
answered on Dec 29, 2022
No. Legal decision-making (aka custody) does not give him the right to dictate the schedule. If he wants the schedule changed, he needs to go to Court to change it.
answered on Dec 29, 2022
If it's related to child custody, and he has a good-faith suspicion that you might be using drugs, he can ask the Court to order you to submit to drug-testing.

Yes, you should look for an attorney who practices juvenile law.
I reside in AZ but, we were divorced in Arapahoe County, Colorado.

It is difficult to answer this without knowing more, but the short answer to your question is the Court must have been more concerned about Mother than it was with Father.
