What Family Law Cases Do We Handle in Surprise, AZ?
The family law attorneys of Mushkatel, Gobbato, & Kile, P.L.L.C. provide legal guidance and representation to clients in Surprise and surrounding areas in many different types of family law cases, including those which involve:
- Divorce
Divorces can be simple and straightforward if both spouses agree upon the details, and no major disputes arise over matters such as children or property. However, divorces can also be a complex and difficult process when large assets are involved or where hostility exists between the parties. It is in your best interest to have an experienced divorce lawyer on your side. As your family law attorneys, we will be here to support you, listen closely, and help ensure you know all of your options in the divorce process. Our divorce lawyers can help to make the process of your divorce case move forward as smoothly as possible and work for the best outcome. - Child Custody
Divorcing parents often are at odds with each other about which parent should make decisions about their child’s welfare or where the child should live. A child custody lawyer from our firm can help you to protect your rights as a parent and pursue an outcome that will serve your child’s best interests. - Child Support
In almost all child custody cases, there will be a legal issue concerning who is responsible for paying for the needs of the child. Parents typically share this responsibility but not always equally. Arizona law has a system for calculating whether one parent should pay child support to the other one. Our law firm can guide you through this process. 
Property Division
In a divorce, the community property that you hold with your spouse is divided equitably (though certain factors may impact the final outcome). An attorney from Mushkatel, Gobbato, & Kile, P.L.L.C. can help you to understand what is and what is not “up for grabs” as far as property during your divorce. We can help you to reach an agreement with your spouse about the division of your property or present your case in court, if necessary.- Spousal Support
One of the most contentious elements of many divorces is whether one person should be required to pay the other person ongoing financial support to help them sustain their lifestyle. Our law firm will protect your rights whether you are seeking or challenging a spousal support award. - Adoption
Adoption is a process through which a non-parent can obtain all of the legal rights and responsibilities of being a parent to a child. However, the adoption process in Arizona can be a complicated one. We can help you to get through the many technical aspects of your adoption. - Prenuptial Agreements and Postnuptial Agreements
Before or after getting married, people can decide to enter into contractual arrangements to protect their rights if a divorce occurs. These prenuptial agreements and postnuptial agreements serve many useful purposes. For older couples and those who have children by prior marriages, they can provide a great degree of protection. We can help you and your partner to determine what will work best for your future. - Domestic Violence Protective Orders
In violent or abusive relationships, it may be necessary to obtain a protective order. This is a court order that restricts the abuser’s rights and ability to remain in the home or to continue the threatening behavior. We can help you to seek or challenge a protective order or explore other options for your domestic violence problem.
