My husband wants to sell the house, I want to keep it.
It is not unusual to meet with a couple during a divorce mediation where it seems like there are insurmountable issues that cannot be resolved.

Are Divorce and Conflict Twins?
In other words, does a divorce have to include conflict? I really do not think so. Stop and think about the potentials for conflict if you are going through a divorce. Are you being greedy? Are you being reasonable? Do you know the well settled law in Arizona or are you fighting against all odds?…

Happy Father’s Day to all the fathers out there!
Almost a decade ago, Arizona significantly changed custody laws, putting fathers and mothers on equal footing in child custody cases. The law created a public policy that, wherever possible, parents should make parenting decisions together and have equal parenting time with the child. Studies show children do better under a 50-50 plan. Despite this change,…
