Chandler Divorce Lawyer

Where Chandler divorces are filed

Dissolution is a Superior Court matter; Chandler families are commonly assigned to the Southeast Regional Court Center in Mesa, with the assignment on your documents controlling. The statewide rules govern: 90-day residency, no-fault grounds, and the 60-day waiting period before a decree.

The parenting plan is the case

For families with school-age children, the decree’s lasting terms are legal decision-making and parenting time — decided on the best-interests factors, with courts directed to maximize each parent’s time where appropriate. A specific, well-drafted parenting plan prevents most of the conflicts that drag parents back to court; a vague one guarantees them. Child support follows the guidelines calculation.

Property, without the drama

The house, two retirement accounts, and the family vehicles divide under community property rules — equitably, usually near-equally, with separate property staying put. Most Chandler cases settle; a Rule 69 agreement makes the settlement binding, so it gets reviewed before signature. The full process is on our divorce page.
