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.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Navigating a divorce is never easy, and I am so grateful to have had the support of attorney Nathaniel Garrabrandt and paralegal Carren Leavitt. From start to finish, they were responsive, professional, and compassionate. I really appreciated the weekly check-in Every phone call and email was answered promptly. There were moments when I needed immediate help with custody issues and protection—Nathaniel handled those situations with calm expertise and gave me the reassurance I needed during such a stressful and uncertain time.

Divorce can feel overwhelming, but having strong legal guidance made all the difference. Nathaniel and Carren provided not only the legal knowledge but also the steady support that helped me feel protected and confident moving forward. I couldn’t recommend Briwn Family Law more highly to anyone needing a reliable and caring legal team!
David Handy and his team were fantastic in helping me navigate custody time with my daughter. He gave the me reassurance and encouragement I needed with each step and I couldn't be more grateful to him! Thanks David! And to his team Candace & Brooklyn for being very helpful in keeping constant communication open. I enjoyed working with everyone!
I had a great experience. Amazing guidance and direction to best help me and my situation.
This has honestly been a first-class experience! I've gotten to work with many attorneys throughout my life and none have been as attentive as, Clay Randle has been.
Daniel and Carren were great to work with. They took time to help me understand the process and get through a difficult time. When I had questions they were quick to respond and really listened to my concerns.
Glad Jason was fired. Clay can handle any case like a champ. Thank you brown family law.
Kayelise was the easiest to talk to. She addressed all my questions regarding my divorce and has so much empathy for those she talks to. I can’t thank her enough for her guidance in my divorce and answering all my questions.
I have had the privilege of working alongside Nate Garrabrandt through our BNI group and hearing him share valuable insights every week about the divorce process. Even though I haven’t personally needed the services of Brown Family Law, I can confidently say that Nate is extremely knowledgeable, well-educated, and passionate about helping his clients navigate such a challenging time. His professionalism and expertise stand out, and I would not hesitate to recommend him and his firm to anyone in need of a skilled divorce attorney.
