We Handle All Matters Necessary for You to Obtain Legal Separation

In Arizona, you can file for legal separation from your spouse, allowing you to live apart, with custody and visitation arrangements for your minor children, with support agreements for your children or spouse, and with a division of the debts of the marriage. This can be the best solution in a variety of circumstances. You may not be ready to end your marriage, but need some time away. You may recognize that your marriage is over, but have religious opposition to a legal divorce. You may want to end the marriage, but wish to continue the health insurance or similar benefits you receive as a legal spouse. You want an experienced attorney to help you take the right steps to protect your interests.

At The Law Office of John R. Gaertner, we bring more than 20 years of practice experience to people throughout the Valley of the Sun. Because we understand the value of a strong attorney-client relationship we will take the time to carefully explain how legal separation works and to learn the details of your case, as well as your goals. We will help you understand all your options, as well as your chances of success, so that you can make the best decisions to protect you and your family.
