Q. How can I handle threats and manipulation from an ex, now jailed, in Arizona?

July 17, 2025

A: I'm really sorry you're dealing with this, it’s completely understandable to feel overwhelmed and concerned for your safety. Given your ex’s history of violence, threats, and ongoing attempts to manipulate you from jail, it's important to prioritize your safety and avoid further communication with him without legal guidance. Please keep in mind that jail calls are recorded. Also, you’re under no obligation to help him or retrieve his belongings, especially if you suspect he may be trying to set you up. I strongly recommend documenting all contacts, and seriously consider filing for an Order of Protection, which you can do even if he originally lied about his identity. Speaking with an attorney doesn’t mean you’re getting him in more trouble, it’s about protecting yourself and knowing your rights. Why are you placing his concerns and needs over your own? Take care of yourself first and foremost. Best of luck. ... Read More

Q. Separated from wife after infidelity; income details and obligations for daughters' needs

July 9, 2025

A: In Arizona, child support is determined based on the Arizona Child Support Guidelines, not simply by dividing income in half. The court considers several factors, including both parents’ gross incomes (wages, bonuses, commissions, and other compensation), the number of children, parenting time arrangements, and specific expenses like school tuition, medical costs, health insurance, and extracurricular activities. Your wife cannot automatically claim half of your income, support is calculated using this standardized formula to ensure fairness.

Arizona’s guidelines also include a self-support reserve, which protects the paying parent by ensuring they retain enough income for their own basic living expenses. This reserve is generally set at 80% of the paying parent’s income. If paying the calculated support amount would leave you below that threshold, the court can reduce the obligation to avoid financial hardship.

It’s important to note that child support is separate from spousal maintenance (alimony). Spousal maintenance would be based on factors like the length of your marriage, your wife’s financial situation, and her ability to become self-sufficient. Also, courts take seriously situations where a higher-earning spouse cuts off financial access to the other, this can lead to additional legal issues, sometimes referred to as abandonment of financial responsibilities.

Given the complexity of your case, I strongly recommend consulting with a family law attorney who can review your specific circumstances, run the proper child support calculation, and advise you on your rights and options. ... Read More

Q. Legal steps for protection against husband's abuse and neglect.

July 9, 2025

A: Your sister does not have to endure this situation in silence. Under Arizona law, she can seek an Order of Protection to prevent her husband from contacting or approaching her and the children, especially considering the history of abuse and police involvement. She should carefully document everything e.g. police reports, medical records, video evidence, and even keep a journal to support her case. She also has the right to pursue divorce or legal separation, where the court can divide property, award spousal maintenance if appropriate, establish child custody and parenting time, and order child support based on her husband’s actual income and financial circumstances, not just his claims. Courts can review his lifestyle, spending, and employment records to ensure the children receive proper support. If necessary, she can also request emergency custody to protect the children from immediate harm. While her in-laws’ favoritism is undoubtedly upsetting, their actions generally hold little legal weight unless they directly endanger the children, although she can raise their interference in court if it affects her ability to safely care for them. I strongly recommend that she consult with a family law attorney for a more detailed, personalized assessment of her legal options. My office offers a free 30-minute consultation. ... Read More
