Legal Question in Family Law in Arizona

I am a US Army Vet I married my wife in 2009. We have been seperated since July 2011. She has our 17 month old son and lives in Texas I live in Arizona. She is an illegal immigrant from Mexico. I want to file for divorce but don't know how that will work since she's illegal.? Also how will child support and custody work out? Please any help is appreciated.

I would first need to know more to determine if your case can even be filed in Arizona. BUT, her legal status would not prevent you from filing.

We can certainly help you consider and then pursue your options if Arizona is determined to be the appropriate state. This is obviously a very important matter, and you should not go in alone.

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 Alicia or my paralegal Jennifer to schedule your free 1/2 hour consultation.
