Summer break often brings a new rhythm, but your parenting plan may not have caught up with your child’s current needs.

If vacations, camps, or changing work hours are creating tension around time-sharing, it may be time to revisit your schedule before conflict escalates.

If you are already feeling the friction about summer, now is the moment to start the conversation, not the week before school gets out.

Many people are surprised to learn that their decree can affect their taxes, including issues like filing status, dependency claims, and potentially capital gains.

This is where having a family law attorney who knows how to spot tax implications really matters. The right guidance can help you spot issues and identify when you need to involve a tax professional, so you are not agreeing to terms that create unintended tax consequences later.

If you are feeling uncertain about this, you do not have to figure it out alone. This is a good time to sit down with a family law attorney and a tax professional to get clarity before you file.

I hope you’ve enjoyed this month’s series on rebuilding after divorce.

Moving forward isn’t about doing everything at once. It’s about taking one small, intentional step at a time.

Whether it’s meeting with a professional, reconnecting with old friends, or simply creating a new routine, every choice builds toward a steadier tomorrow.

As we continue our series on your support team to lean on after divorce, this week we’re focusing on mental health and the vital role therapy can play in healing.

A licensed therapist can help you process what you’ve been through and begin your next chapter from a healthy, grounded place.

Therapy isn’t just for moments of crisis; it’s also a space to rediscover who you are, rebuild your confidence, and create a vision for what comes next.

One of the biggest changes after divorce can be where you live.

Partnering with a knowledgeable real estate professional can make a world of difference. You need someone who understands not just the market, but the emotions that come with finding a new place to call home.

March is often about growth, renewal, and moving forward. And for many of my clients, it’s also a time to rebuild after divorce.

This month, I’ll be sharing resources and insights from trusted professionals who help people build a strong foundation for their next chapter, including real estate experts, therapists, estate planners, and more.

Divorce may be an ending, but it’s also a chance to rebuild with clarity, confidence, and community.

When court is avoidable, it should not be your first stop. In mediation, you and your co-parent stay in control.

As your lawyer, I sit beside you in the process: helping you understand your rights, reality-checking proposals, and shaping options that protect your children and your future.

In mediation, we can create a realistic parenting plan, reach practical financial agreements, and keep your conflict and private details out of a public courtroom.

Mediation is not “going it alone.” It is a guided, legally informed process where you write your family’s next chapter instead of having it written for you.

High-earning households often assume child support is a straightforward calculation, but in Arizona, it’s not always so simple.

The guidelines weigh combined income, parenting time, and added expenses in ways that can significantly affect your cash flow and long-term plan. In certain circumstances, courts may deviate from the guidelines if their application is unjust.

For executives, professionals, and business owners, understanding how the guidelines work together is not just legal knowledge; it is a key part of a broader financial strategy.

True or false: If a home is titled only in one spouse’s name, it’s automatically considered separate property.

The answer is not always so easy. In Arizona, how real property is titled can determine its characterization.

However, in limited circumstances, other factors may impact the characterization.
Understanding these nuances early can help avoid conflict later—especially when significant assets like real estate are involved.

Many high-net-worth individuals assume their inheritance or premarital assets are automatically protected. In Arizona, that protection can erode through commingling, when separate assets are inadvertently mixed with community funds.

Understanding and documenting the flow of funds is critical to preserving ownership and avoiding disputes down the line. A proactive approach now can prevent costly litigation later.

Before entering into any family law agreement, take a pause and make sure you really understand what’s in your agreement. These three simple questions can help you navigate the process thoughtfully and ensure that your agreement reflects your voice and your needs.
