Attorney John P. Moore: The Wisdom of Experience in Divorce and Family Law
I have seen for myself that all the negative emotions connected to divorce can drive the desire to punish your spouse. However, after helping many clients through this tough emotional period as their divorce lawyer, I have found that the best solutions are those that stress cooperation rather than animosity.
Keeping your divorce out of court means that it will likely be quicker, more affordable and less emotionally traumatic for everyone involved, particularly children.
In my experience, a spirit of cooperation rather than confrontation in any matter of family law pays dividends in these areas:
- Mediation - People are more likely to accept and follow decisions they have made themselves rather than those imposed upon them by a judge who follows strict guidelines that are supposed to fit everyone, but seldom do.
- Property division - It is important to value your assets correctly to avoid an unfair settlement. I can recommend professional resources to use in determining fair value. If your spouse does not agree to dividing your marital assets equitably, I will vigorously represent your interests and ensure you get the settlement you deserve.
- Divorce - While I urge you and your spouse to put emotions aside and work to achieve an amicable dissolution of your marriage, it is sometimes not possible. In these cases, I will fight for your rights in court and tirelessly advocate for what is lawfully yours.
- Child custody - The best interests of the child are always a priority in Arizona rulings. Although judges try to make the right custody decisions, I believe the parents are in a better position to work out arrangements that best fit their circumstances.
