Legal Question in Family Law in Arizona

Sure, I don't see why not. However, you may want to domesticate the order by filing a certified copy with the superior (county) court where you live, especially if you think there may be some enforcement or modification issues. Best of luck to you, and let me know if there's anything else I can do for you.

Yes, so long as Japan had proper jurisdiction over the parties when issuing the divorce decree, then such can be enforced and modified in Arizona (again, so long as Arizona also has jurisdiction over the parties).

We can certainly help you consider and then pursue your options for modifying or enforcing the foreign decree.

One of our attorneys can explain the issues and procedures better in person. As you can imagine, there is too much to cover via email. We offer free 1/2 hour consultations, in which we can discuss your matter in detail.

Please call us directly to discuss the specifics of your matter, or contact my assistant Gloria or my paralegal Jennifer to schedule your free 1/2 hour consultation.
