Legal Question in Family Law in Arizona

ex-wife trying to modify custody,child support

My ex wife and I have been divorced since 2002. We have joint legal custody of our son..time almost split equally. child was 7 months old at the time..he is five now. now that he is in kindergarten, ex wants me to see him only every other weekend and one day a week. she stopped working to have more children with her current spouse. there are nothing limiting her from working. Will it be easy for her to change the parenting time. I want it to stay the same. Will the court look at imputed income from the job she just quit?

Re: ex-wife trying to modify custody,child support

My simple answers are that a Judge could and should impute income to her, and that merely quitting her job may not, in and of itself, warrant a custody modification.

I can explain the issues and procedures better by phone or in person. As you can imagine, there is too much to cover via e'mail. We offer free 1/2 hour consultations, in which we can discuss the matter in more detail.

Please call me directly to discuss the specifics of your case, or contact my assistant Alicia or my paralegal Jennifer to schedule a free 1/2 hour consultation.
