Providing Compassionate and Experienced Help during Difficult Times

DeShon Pullen & Associates offers complete family law services. We will help you examine your issues from various perspectives so that you can see all of your options and make informed decisions. If appropriate, we will also encourage you to consider alternatives to costly, time-consuming litigation, such as mediation or collaborative law.

 We offer family law representation in the following areas:

• Divorce: We help people navigate the difficult issues that accompany divorce.
• Child custody and visitation : In our practice we strongly believe in helping parents understand how children who are placed in the middle of a bitter custody or child support dispute can be harmed by the crossfire between parents. We see it as our responsibility to guide our clients through the process in a way that minimizes difficult interactions with their former spouse, whether it is in court or at settlement meetings. We handle high conflict custody cases and can facilitate parent coordination of parenting plans.
• Child support and alimony : We understand and appreciate the full financial impact of a divorce, including your desire to provide for your children and the need to reach fair determinations of spousal support.
• Division of property: In a community property state such as Arizona, it is important to seek assistance from attorneys who can properly address property valuation, property classification and all other issues to ensure that your rights are fully protected.
• Paternity : We file paternity actions on behalf of mothers and fathers to establish parentage and its associated responsibilities, including child support.
• Termination of parental rights and adoption: We file Petitions to Terminate Parental Rights and Petitions for Adoption in juvenile court.
• Grandparent rights: We help grandparents establish the right to spend time with their grandchildren.
• Modifications : The need for modifications can arise when there are substantial changes in income, expenses, marital status, location or other circumstances. Child support, alimony and child custody may all be modified.
• Enforcement: We can handle enforcement if a party is failing to comply with court-ordered responsibilities regarding child custody, child support or alimony.
• Separation agreements: We assist with the drafting, review and negotiation of separation agreements.
• Premarital/partnership agreements: Premarital/prenuptial agreements, ante-nuptial agreements, and partnership agreements are often entered into by parties who wish to protect their financial interests either before or after getting married or deciding to live together.
• Guardianship issues: We handle guardianship issues regarding children and vulnerable or incapacitated adults.
