Child Custody and Relocation
Relocation is an especially difficult issue for the parties, lawyers, and the court. Relocation can mean a move within Arizona, or a move out of the state. The latter can be particularly difficult to resolve without thorough litigation. While it is preferable to settle these matters in a fair and equitable way, our family attorneys are ready to aggressively protect your rights in this area of the law.

It is critical to contact an attorney experienced in this area prior to initiating the move or informing the opposing party of your plans to move. If you are the one who is not moving, it is important that you contact an attorney immediately in order to take the proper steps to prevent the move.

Child Custody
Steven Cole, and his associate, Aubrey Srednicki, are more than willing to go the extra mile in order to aggressively support you in court. Nothing can duplicate the pain that one suffers when families are pulled apart, and the custody of children decided. We try our best to resolve these cases without wasting fees and further poisoning relationships that are already strained. However, when negotiation cannot resolve these divisive issues, we stand ready to thoroughly and professionally litigate in this highly-charged emotional atmosphere.

Whether you contact us or another attorney, it is necessary to receive advice early and often at the onset of a custody case.

Property Division
The division of community property sometimes goes fairly smoothly, and sometimes it doesn't. It is essential not to waste attorney's fees fighting over items that have little value. This does not mean that you should simply give in to the other party's demands. Steven Cole strives to resolve issues involving division of property in quick and fair manner.

When significant property is involved, it is vital to have skilled representation so that each party receives a fair settlement. In today's tough economic times, parties are often required to divide houses that are upside-down in terms of their value. The tactics that attorneys use to resolve these complicated issues have evolved as the economic downturn has accelerated. Having experienced representation during these difficult times is extremely valuable.
