Practice Areas

Practice Areas Description

- Child Custody

Phoenix child custody lawyer Scott David Stewart represents mothers, fathers, divorcing spouses, or unmarried parents in disputes involving access to their children. His understanding of Arizona family law, familiarity with the family court procedures, and insights into the most effective way of resolving problems on terms favorable to his clients can all make a positive difference in the ultimate outcome of your situation.

- Child Custody Evaluation

If you are involved in a divorce with the potential for contested child custody issues, contact Phoenix family law attorney Scott David Stewart for reliable advice and guidance. He can help you understand your legal options in light of your specific circumstances. In some cases, the use of a child custody evaluator can help support your position and advance your child custody objectives.

- Grandparent Child Custody Rights

In certain situations, grandparents and stepparents need advice and representation about their ability to protect their access to a grandchild or stepchild or even to obtain temporary custody or guardianship of a child whose primary custodial parent is unable to provide a safe and stable home.

- Child Custody Mediation

If you anticipate that child custody or parenting time issues in your divorce case might be especially contentious, mediation might be a suitable alternative for narrowing the issues between the spouses. At the Law Offices of Scott David Stewart, we help our family law clients get the most out of mediation by helping you identify core and secondary objectives, and helping you understand your rights and responsibilities under Arizona law.

- Child Custody Modification

Raising children is by its nature an exercise in promoting and adapting to change. It is then hardly surprising that the legal arrangements for maintaining parental relationships in the aftermath of divorce attempt to anticipate adjustments that will reflect the changing needs of the children as they grow and develop, and the sometimes changing abilities of parents to support and nurture them.

- Visitation and Parenting Time

If you have questions about your right to parenting time or access to a child who lives with the other parent, if you are involved in a divorce case where access to the children is likely to be a major issue, or if you are the primary custodial parent and have concerns about the other parent's ability to meet his or her responsibilities during overnight visits, contact a knowledgeable Arizona parenting time attorney at the Law Offices of Scott David Stewart.

- Parental Relocation

Difficult practical and legal problems can arise when one divorced parent plans to move a considerable distance or even to another state, especially when the parent proposing the relocation has primary physical custody of the child or children. If the change of parental residence would cross state lines or exceed 100 miles, the parent proposing the move must give 60 days' notice to the other parent.

- Domestic Partner Child Custody

Although Arizona recognizes neither the right of same sex partners to marry nor the right of gay or lesbian partners to adopt a child together, under certain circumstances the nonparental partner of a gay or lesbian couple can assert a right to child visitation if the domestic partnership breaks up. If you need advice about either asserting or resisting the right to child visitation, contact a knowledgeable family law attorney at the Law Offices of Scott David Stewart.

- Unmarried Parents Child Custody Rights

As compared to the rights of divorcing spouses or former spouses, there are important similarities as well as differences concerning the rights of unmarried parents to child custody under Arizona law. Whether you are a noncustodial parent trying to get stable and reliable access to your child, or a custodial parent who needs information about your obligation to provide access to a noncustodial parent, contact Phoenix child custody lawyer Scott David Stewart.
