Legal Question in Family Law in Arizona

Can a court exercise initial jurisdiction if me and my child have not lived there for over 8 months and have no ties there other than my child's biological father??

I would need to know more, but it may be that you can contest Arizona's jurisdiction over you and the child.

We can certainly help you consider and then pursue your options. 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 Gina or my paralegal Jennifer to schedule your free 1/2 hour consultation.
