The hypothetical Arizona divorce case scenario: A couple living in Mesa has decided to file for divorce in Arizona. When various family members and friends hear the news, they immediately emphasize the need to look out for their individual interests by retaining a Mesa AZ divorce attorney for additional protection. Once the couple tells their children about the divorce, each child wants to know what will happen to their current living situation and the amount of time they get to spend with each parent. Just to add to the stress and mental anguish, whenever the couple tries to talk about the terms of their divorce, and other issues such as property division, child support, child custody or alimony, the discussion turns into a heated argument. After looking into a divorce attorney and researching a “Do It Yourself” divorce, each spouse starts to feel like their options for a peaceful resolution are limited. Furthermore, neither party is thrilled about the idea of putting their kids, let alone themselves, through lengthy litigation.
