Legal Question in Family Law in Arizona

Re: Help in divorce with joint buisness

there are several questions you are posing. As for the business, because the debts were accrued during the marriage, there is a likelihood they will be the responsibility of both of you. However, there is more information that needs to be gathered. You need to file a Petition for Dissolution of Marriage and get him served in order to "stop" the community from acquiring any longer...as to make new debts his.

Please feel free to contact my office if you would like to set up a consultation. I would be happy to help.

Re: Help in divorce with joint buisness

If you don�t want to be responsible for future �community debts�, you need to file for a divorce asap! I�m guessing there may be taxes that may be owing or tax returns unfiled, also. You should seek the assistance of an attorney or contact your local Legal Aid office. Check your phone book or azlawfind.org for information on contacting Legal Aid. You might qualify for services through your local women�s shelter. Legal Aid may be able to find a volunteer lawyer to assist you or you can attend a clinic where they give you the information to do a divorce on your own. During the divorce process you might be able to get your husband to keep the business and all related debts. A divorce is often an emotionally exhausting process, you might look into personal counseling through your church or local social service agency. GOOD LUCK
