Same-Sex Family Law Matters Using a Paraprofessional
Same-Sex Family Law Matters Using a Paraprofessional
In 2014, Arizona decided against appealing a federal court’s decision that the state’s constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage was unconstitutional. The decision not to appeal made same-sex marriage in the state legal.
The Supreme Court of the United States subsequently legalized same-sex marriage in all states with its decision in the Obergefell v. Hodges, 132 S. Ct. 2071 (2015) case.
Same-sex couples can decide to marry or to form domestic partnerships in Arizona. The state’s family law regarding same-sex marriage is evolving.
Stephanie Villalobos, LP of De Novo Law, can represent you in multiple same-sex family law matters, including divorce, child custody, spousal maintenance, child support, and property division.
When you choose to retain a licensed legal paraprofessional at De Novo Law, you can pursue a resolution to your family law issues at a more affordable cost.
How a Legal Paraprofessional can Assist with Same-Sex Family Law Matters
How a Legal Paraprofessional can Assist with Same-Sex Family Law Matters
The Arizona Supreme Court created a new tier of licensed legal professionals called legal paraprofessionals. Before someone can be licensed as a legal paraprofessional, he or she must have built significant experience while working under the supervision of licensed attorneys and/or attained some legal education.
Legal paraprofessionals must also pass rigorous background checks and comprehensive exams before they can be licensed.
Once licensed, legal paraprofessionals are authorized to provide legal representation to their clients without the supervision of attorneys in certain limited areas, including family law. Ms. Villalobos is licensed to provide legal advice, help devise legal strategies, file legal pleadings, appear in court, and do other related things to help her clients secure the most favorable outcomes possible in their cases.
Being represented by a legal paraprofessional is generally more affordable than hiring an attorney.
Ms. Villalobos has more than 30 years of experience working in family law. She is authorized to represent people in many different types of same-sex family law issues, including divorce, property division, child custody, child support, and spousal maintenance.
