protection when it matters most
The unfortunate reality of high-conflict family law matters is that allegations of abuse or neglect are common -- a fact that is devastating whether the allegations are true or false.
Jade Law Office is experienced in cases involving investigations by the Department of Child Safety (DCS), local law enforcement, and coordinated investigations between the two. We serve clients on both sides of these proceedings: we pursue protective action where a child's safety is at risk, and we defend parents against false or strategic allegations made to gain judicial advantage. We understand how quickly a parent's protective efforts can be reframed as alienation and how harrowing it is to defend yourself against a claim that requires proving a negative. Whether the priority is safeguarding a child or preserving your role in their life, we deliver precise legal strategy, evidentiary command, and tireless advocacy.
In this arena, anyone can make an accusation. The difference is knowing how to prove -- or dismantle -- the case.

No. A lawyer is never a need. However, many people who utilize forms or paralegal services for drafting consent decrees and/or parenting plans find themselves to have buyer's remorse if a dispute ever arises. So a lawyer is not a need, but we see what goes wrong with these agreements everyday, so we have firsthand knowledge on how to draft them to best protect you.
-
Legal custody (now called legal decision-making in Arizona) refers to a parent’s authority to make major decisions for the child, while parenting time determines the physical time a child spends with each parent.
-
Yes, both child support and custody arrangements can be modified. However, the burden for modifying a standing court order can vary depending on the timing and circumstances of the requested modification. There is also a lot of judicial discretion involved in granting modifications, so always speak with a lawyer before entering into orders under the assumption they can be modified at a later date.
-
Contact a family law attorney immediately—especially if the order involves your child or someone you share parenting responsibilities with. These orders can affect your custody rights and court standing in the family court, and strategy for a protective order should be developed based on the same.
-
Yes. So long as the agreement meets the legal requirements, the Court is bound to enforce it. However, the standard and burden of proof differ between prenuptial and postnuptial agreements. That distinction and other factors can significantly impact not only how the agreement is evaluated, but also how much context beyond the written terms will factor into enforceability.
