Legal Question in Family Law in Arizona

My wife contacted a paralegal to help divide the assests, bills, and custody of our children. We are supposed to sign papers tomorrow she says the signature is just to verify we recieved the information. I am not sure if I should sign the papers because I think we need more time to think about getting a divorce.

What do we have to do to stop the process from going any further?

I would need to know more. FIRST, you cannot be forced to sign anything. Ask to get a copy in advance, and come review it with us. SECOND, there is a document you can file at Court ("Petition for COnciliation") which places a "pause" on any divorce proceedings. Once I know more about your specific situation, I could provide a specific strategy.

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