What Makes Sense About Our Service
We Work Around Your Schedule
Virtual meetings and electronic document delivery mean you’re not taking time off work or missing class to deal with paperwork. We handle things efficiently because we understand that your time is valuable.
We Help a Lot of Unmarried Parents
Many Tempe clients are unmarried couples who need to establish custody arrangements. The process begins with establishing paternity, then proceeds to creating parenting plans and support orders. We’ve done this countless times and can guide you through the necessary steps in the correct order.
Two Courthouse Options
Depending on where you live in Tempe, you might file at the Southeast Regional Center in Mesa or the downtown Phoenix courthouse. We are familiar with both locations and will advise you on which one makes more sense for your situation.
Questions We Get Asked
I’m at ASU, and my child’s other parent is in another state. Can I still file here?
Usually yes, as long as Arizona qualifies as your child’s home state—generally meaning they’ve lived here at least six months. We can prepare the necessary documents to establish your parenting plan and ensure your rights are protected, even if the other parent is out of state.
We’re not married and need a custody agreement. Where do we start?
The first step is typically establishing paternity legally, which creates the foundation for everything else. Once that’s done, you can establish a formal parenting plan that covers custody schedules, holidays, and decision-making responsibilities. We prepare all of it and explain what each piece does.
Which courthouse should I use?
Depends on where in Tempe you are. South Tempe residents usually find Mesa more convenient. If you’re closer to the 202, downtown Phoenix might be easier. When we prepare your documents, we’ll include specific instructions for whichever location makes sense for you.
Let’s Talk About Your Situation
Reach out for an initial review. We’ll determine which documents you actually need and whether we’re the right fit to prepare them.
