Local Trust Cues: Gilbert

Family law cases in Gilbert are generally handled through the Maricopa County Superior Court, which serves all of Maricopa County, including East Valley communities. Having a lawyer who understands this court system — from its judges to its mediation requirements — can make a meaningful difference.

Gilbert families also face unique considerations, from dividing property in neighborhoods such as Val Vista Lakes, Power Ranch, and Agritopia, to coordinating parenting schedules around local schools and community activities. At Brown Family Law, we understand both the divorce system and the everyday realities of family life in Gilbert.

The Divorce Process in Gilbert

The divorce process in Maricopa County typically follows these steps:

  1. Filing a Petition for Dissolution – One spouse formally starts the process.
  2. Service of Papers – The other spouse is served with notice.
  3. Temporary Orders – Courts may issue temporary custody, support, or financial orders while the case is pending.
  4. Financial Disclosures – Both spouses exchange information about income, assets, and debts.
  5. Mediation or Settlement – The court often requires parents to attempt settlement before trial.
  6. Trial (if necessary) – If an agreement cannot be reached, a judge makes the final decisions.
  7. Final Divorce Decree – The court finalizes the divorce.

At Brown Family Law, we walk clients through every stage, ensuring they feel supported and prepared.

I’m very glad I chose Brown Family Law to handle my divorce. From start to finish, the process went smoothly. Divorce can be incredibly stressful, but much of that stress was eased thanks to their professionalism and guidance. Special thanks to Nicholas Schwarz and Carren Leavitt—both are outstanding attorneys who clearly know exactly what they’re doing. I couldn’t have asked for better representation. Thank you!

When I came to Brown Family Law I had lost all hope that my divorce would ever be completed. I had served my ex with numerous previous petitions, and had never been able to get to the finish line. Feeling defeated and frustrated I decided to give it one last shot and contact Brown Family Law. Jennifer, Dani and Marco Brown himself listened to my intricate story and worked with expertise and grace to finally get my divorced finalized after a 6 year long journey. You can not put a price on your freedom or peace of mind and that's exactly what they have given me. Brown Family Law is exceptional at what they do. I would highly recommend them and their incredible team!! Thank you , Thank you, Thank you!!!!

I worked with Nicholas Schwarz during my divorce and mediation, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the outcome. My biggest concern was making sure my financial needs were still covered while paying alimony, and Nicholas was consistently clear, responsive, and genuinely protective of my interests. With his guidance, I reached a fair settlement that allowed me not just to get by, but to actually live my life. Divorce is always stressful, but he worked hard for me and took a lot of that stress off my shoulders. I would recommend him without hesitation and would hire him again.
