Brad and Angelina
I do not know anything about their case. I have only read about it on the internet. But I have read that Brad Dad has supervised parenting time. In Arizona, that is severe. It is saved for only the worst of parents. The kind that are drug addicts, violent, domestic violence, or criminals. Not the…

By now you know that Brad and Angelina are headed for a divorce. They are in California, of course, and California law will apply. But what if they were in Arizona?

Domestic Violence Month: Dogs, Kids, and Domestic Violence
We tend to think that domestic violence only affects the partner spouse/girlfriend/boyfriend but there is collateral and direct damage to children and pets. A batterer who abuses their dogs or cats is more likely to abuse a person, adult or child. A family where there is domestic violence puts the children at risk. Up to…
Domestic Violence Day: Emergency Order of Protection
If you need emergency relief on weekends, at night or on legal holidays you may need an Emergency Order of Protection. If needed follow the following steps: Contact your local law enforcement agency and file a complaint. Law enforcement will review the situation and determine whether a domestic violence situation exists. After the police officer…
Domestic Violence Awareness Month: What Exactly Is Domestic Violence
If you don’t know baseball, I apologize in advance for this analogy. A long time ago when I coached baseball, I tried to teach the players to tag up when there was a fly ball to the outfield. As the ball would fly to the outfield, I started yelling “tag up!” I could not understand…
