Child Custody/Custody & Parents in Military

A Future With Your Child's Best Interest in Mind — Tucson, Arizona, Law Firm

She has a special understanding of the issues that divorcing military families face and has helped military and non-military spouses develop creative, workable child custody and visitation plans. She also regularly works with parents filing paternity actions and seeking to establish or deny paternity, custody and support through legal means.

Military Rights: In Arizona, the fact that one parent is in the military may be taken into account when creating a child custody agreement, but it cannot be the sole factor.
