Divorce is a complex and stressful process, perhaps the hardest time in your life. The important legal and financial decisions you need to make are complicated by strong emotions, sentimental attachments and disagreements about the children.

We represent men and women in Avondale, Goodyear and the West Valley suburbs, and throughout greater Phoenix and Arizona. Contact us today to discuss divorce or any family law matter.
A Practical Approach to Family Law
Attorney Tom Nickel has practiced in family law for 25 years. He helps clients analyze the economics of dividing property and consider the long view of child custody arrangements. He explains what the law says, how a judge may rule, and the impact of decisions so clients can focus on realistic solutions. He won't fan the fires to urge clients into unnecessary litigation, but he will protect your interests in court so you don't get burned.
We handle all divorce and family law matters, including:
- Filing for divorce and temporary orders — pendente lite orders from the court regarding physical custody, interim financial support, debt payments and use of the residence and vehicles
- Division of marital property, retirement and debts — fair and creative distribution of the estate that preserves what's most important to you
- Child custody and visitation arrangements — stout representation in contested custody or in negotiation of workable schedules that foster the child's best interests and an amicable co-parenting relationship
- Child support and alimony — accurate analysis of the payor's income and the needs of the custodial parent or lesser-earning spouse
- Post-judgment modifications and enforcement — vigorous representation in contested hearings for parent relocation, changes in custody, increases or decreases in child support, or contempt of court proceedings
- Stepparent or grandparent adoptions — termination or suspension of the natural parent's rights
- Prenuptial agreements (drafting and litigation)
- Paternity actions to gain custody/visitation or to compel child support
We have experienced male and female attorneys with the knowledge and skills necessary to deal effectively with these complex issues, and to protect our clients in divorce, custody and other contested proceedings.
