If you are considering divorce, one of your most important concerns should be about choosing the type of lawyer who will be right for you. As you are probably already discovering, ending a marriage isn't always simple or straightforward. Getting through the process with your financial interests and parenting rights intact takes hard work.
Family disputes are serious matters that can result in financial harm and personal distress to the parties involved. While some cases can be resolved amicably, it is often necessary to retain an aggressive lawyer in order to make sure your rights are being protected. I'm Arizona family law attorney Matthew Schultz, and I put my clients' interests first.
Sometimes judges make mistakes in family law cases. Whether you believe a judge was unfair in determining your child custody order or failed to consider important factors when ordering spousal maintenance payments, it is important to talk to a lawyer quickly. At my firm, Law Offices of Matthew S. Schultz, in Tempe, Arizona, I provide aggressive legal guidance for individuals who are victims of errors in family law judgments.
Arizona is a community property state, which means that all property and debt acquired during a marriage is owned by the community, not the individual spouses. Community debt and property is subject to division when a couple chooses to divorce.
It is often the case that the more assets and property owned by the community, the more complicated its division, especially if an individual spouse attempts to hide the existence or value of property in hopes that it won't be classified as community property.Achieving an equitable divorce settlement in this situation requires the expertise and assistance of an attorney.

Should a particular asset, such as stock options be treated as income for maintenance and support purposes, or be regarded instead as marital property subject to division between the spouses?. One spouse's separate property has been commingled during the marriage with community assets. One spouse has improved community assets with their separate property or taken community assets to improve their own separate property.

Matt was highly recommended to my brother and we’re so thankful he was!!! From day one he was very professional, knowledgeable, and responsive to all questions and concerns my brother had. My brothers now ex wife 🎉 tried to keep his daughter from him and was successful for 5 months until Matt came to the picture. Ex wife had hired, fired and rehired another lawyer fearing the knowledge Matt had after winning temporary orders for my brother. Matt attempted to settle on several occasions with ex’s lawyer with no luck. When trial came once again my brother was granted more then original temp

Do not believe anything that I wrote. We found out the hard way that this attorney does not keep his word. And he stinks as an attorney. He doesn't do what the client wants or needs. My review was done prematurely. Right after we retained him. Do yourself a favor and find an attorney that doesn't double as an ambulance chaser. Matt is the best investment we ever made. My sons ex wouldn't even tell him that his daughter had been born, or if she was dead or alive. As soon as we found out she had been born, Matt wasted no time serving her with papers. He came highly recommended and I can see why.

Matt is the BEST thing that ever happened to our family. We were referred to Matt by a friend of ours after we had told her how displeased we were with our previous lawyer. I feel like we came to Matt with a hot mess of a situation, but that never seemed to phase him. Matt is attentive, professional, responsive, thorough, honest and a total badass in the court room. He is incredibly fast when it comes to communication and that made things a lot easier on us when we were wanting answers/explanations quickly. Although most things are via video conference right now, watching Matt in front of the judge

Matthew Schultz' attention to detail on my case was second to none. He thoroughly explained the process every step of the way, and was very responsive to all my inquiries, no matter how trivial. He researched diligently to ensure that the best interests of my minor children were priority number one. He has an ability to present facts in a manner which allows them to be clearly heard in the courtroom and a gift for knowing when to be aggressive and when to back off. I truly could not be happier with his representation in my most recent case. My case is a very sensitive one, and Mr. Schultz made

Over the last 8 months Matt has represented me in my Family Law case. From the beginning Matt was up-front and honest with me about everything and answered every question I had. He was fair in how he treated me, and worked hard in and out of the court room to get the best results possible. He greatly exceeded my expectations and was able to do more for me than I thought possible. I have recommended Matt to coworkers and friends who are in need of help and wouldn't hesitate to work with him again if needed.

Matthew Schultz is a rare lawyer. My case was a disaster until Matt took over. Now I have full custody of my daughter. Matt is very qualified. Very aggressive. And actually cares about helping people and fighting for what is right. I 150% highly recommend Matt. Do not waste your money on other lawyer's. You will only wind up throwing your money away.
I have nothing but great things to say about Matt. Matt is a surgeon in the courtroom. Aggressive and deadly accurate and unparalleled experience and integrity. If you love your children. Retain Matt. End of story.
