Understanding Family Law in Arizona

Family law affects nearly every part of life: your home, your finances, and your future. Arizona follows community property laws, meaning that most assets and debts acquired during a marriage are divided equally when a couple divorces. Decisions about child custody, support, and spousal maintenance are made with one goal in mind: protecting the best interests of the family. At The Valley Law Group, we help clients understand what to expect before, during, and after the legal process. Our attorneys explain your options clearly, prepare you for every court appearance, and advocate for fair results in or out of court. With offices in Phoenix, Gilbert, Scottsdale, and Peoria, we represent families throughout Maricopa County with honesty and dedication.

Thank you Jon for helping me with my case and making me feel comfortable during the proceedings. I appreciate the guidance you provided and legal recommendations so that I could result in the best possible outcome for my situation. I would have been very lost without your help!

Katie is great along with entire team! Very professional and great at what they do. Highly recommend for child custody. I did a lot of research for the right law firm and happy/confident I chose this firm!

Simply put, Ryan is outstanding! ! I’ve used his services exclusively for the last 6+ years on multiple custody and visitation cases. After having gone through three less than transparent attorneys before Ryan, it was incredibly refreshing when I found him. He’s courteous, responsive and the utmost professional. Best of all, I feel that I can trust his advice explicitly. A true rarity in this industry! Bottom line: I wouldn’t consider even having a conversation with another attorney!

Ryan did a good job especially considering I didn't have an attorney most of my divorce. I would recommend him, but get him onboard at the beginning not the end.
