Arizona Family Law Issues Part III

Here is our final piece to providing you with a brief understanding of many different types of cases that fall under the family law umbrella. It is important for you to understand so that you don’t waste time and hire the right attorney to represent you.

Grandparents Rights

Believe it or not grandparents are entitled to visitation rights and many different law firms have handled these types of cases particularly for grandparents of children whom they have been prevented from visiting having an established relationship with for one reason or another which the biological parents have prevented this in some way shape of form. An experienced Phoenix family law attorney can help with the legal representation for Grandparents rights in Arizona.

Paternity

This type of case can involve a father who has paid money for child support in Arizona for a child that is biologically not his. This can work the other way as well in effort to establish paternity for a father who has not seen a child and wants to establish a relationship with that child. In either event, paternity can be established. In the event of the father who pays child support, the court must enforce a paternity test and find the father is not the biological parent in order to put a stop to his child support obligation. In the event of a father wanting to establish a relationship with his child and legal rights to that child, there is a little more work involved in order to track down the mother and go through the legal process. Any paternity case will require the efforts of a very experienced Phoenix family law attorney.


Domestic Violence / Protective Orders

Domestic violence happens quite often in a marital relationship. In the realm of family law, it is important to understand that Phoenix family law attorneys usually represent the victims of abuse in order to file orders of protection against the accused abusers in Arizona. This is not to be confused with that of representing an individual charged with domestic violence or assault crimes. Contact your local Phoenix family law attorney for more information.
