Family Law Services in Scottsdale

At Brown Family Law, we help Scottsdale families navigate the full range of family law issues, including:

  • Divorce – Guiding clients through contested, uncontested, and complex divorces.
  • Child Custody – Creating parenting plans that prioritize children’s best interests.
  • Child Support – Ensuring orders are fair and accurate under Arizona law.

Local Trust Cues: Scottsdale

Divorce and custody cases for Scottsdale residents are generally handled through the Maricopa County Superior Court. With its large caseload, cases in this court benefit from attorneys who understand both the divorce system and the expectations of local judges.

Scottsdale families also face unique lifestyle and financial considerations — from property division involving homes in neighborhoods like Old Town, McCormick Ranch, and North Scottsdale, to balancing professional obligations with parenting time. Having an attorney who understands both the law and the local community can make the process smoother.

The Divorce Process in Scottsdale

Most divorces in Maricopa County follow similar steps:

  • Petition for Dissolution – One spouse files to begin the process.
  • Service of Papers – The other spouse is formally notified.
  • Temporary Orders – Courts may issue orders on custody, support, or property while the case is pending.
  • Disclosure & Discovery – Both spouses exchange financial information and documents.
  • Mediation & Settlement – Courts encourage parents to resolve issues outside of trial when possible.
  • Trial (if necessary) – If no agreement is reached, a judge makes final decisions.
  • Final Decree of Dissolution – The divorce is finalized.

Brown Family Law supports Scottsdale clients at each step, ensuring their rights and futures are protected.

I had the privilege of working with Ray and his paralegal Carren for three years during a very high-conflict custody battle with my ex, and I truly cannot say enough good things about them. From start to finish, their level of professionalism, dedication, and compassion set them apart from most legal teams.

Ray was not only knowledgeable and strategic, but also straightforward and honest with me at every stage of the process. He never made unrealistic promises and always made sure I understood my options, which gave me a lot of confidence and peace of mind during a very stressful time. Carren was equally amazing—organized, responsive, and incredibly supportive. She made sure I was always kept in the loop and was quick to answer questions or provide updates.

What stood out most was their consistent communication. They always made the effort to call and keep me updated, which made me feel like I was truly a priority, not just another case. Their teamwork, transparency, and genuine care made a difficult experience much more manageable.

I would highly recommend them to anyone in need of strong, reliable legal representation.

Thank you to everyone at Brown Family Law. You guys are an amazing team. My attorney Katrina Redd made this so easy for me. She was always available to help explain the details, answering all of my questions and concerns with respect and clarity. And can I say, the way she handled my mediation…I was so impressed. Im so happy I chose to go with Brown.
Brown Family Law wasn’t able at the time to take on my case however the team was super nice and helpful. They took the time to send me referrals to other lawyers who could help me. Appreciate this level of service.

They did an outstanding job working on my case. It was very difficult due to me being in the military and stationed in Texas. They did a great job communicating with me by email and phone and i was very satisfied with the outcome and their work. I would definitely recommend them, especially to any other military people who need to have legal issues dealt with in Utah and that are unable to be there themselves to handle it.
