Legal Question in Family Law in Arizona

In Arizona, once a Paternity action is filed, the Mother is limited in most cases to seeking past support for only the preceding 3 years. SO, so long as you can establish what you have paid in the last 3 years, you will get credit for such.

We can certainly help you consider and then pursue your options for pursuing Paternity and the resulting custody, parenting time, and child support orders. This is obviously a very important matter, and you should not go in alone.

We have three attorneys. We charge from $220 per hour to $250 per hour. Our retainers can run as low as $500 for demand letters/phone calls, $1200 plus costs for uncontested matters, or from $2,000 to $4,000 for most contested matters. We can also structure assistance to help you represent yourself if your prefer, whether by the project or by the hour.

Please remember that a retainer is just a prepayment of time, and is not an estimate as to the total costs of the matter. If I finish within the retainer, then I refund any unearned amounts.

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.
