Divorce & Child Custody

Dedicated Arizona Divorce Lawyer


Attorney Dianne Sullivan is committed to helping couples find fair and peaceful solutions to divorce issues. When mediation will not work, Ms. Sullivan is an adept and aggressive litigator who will fight for her clients. She has successfully represented clients in both contested and uncontested divorce cases.

Contested divorce: This is by far the most common path that divorcing couples take. In divorce, the most important things in life - access to children, possession of the family home, money - even, sometimes, such questions as who gets the family dog - are at stake. These are issues where divorcing couples find it hard to make concessions. They would rather have a judge who does not know them make decisions about their most precious concerns, than make a concession to the former partner who is now their opponent. These cases either go to trial, or settle when the money has all been spent on attorneys' fees. It's sad, but true.

If you do find yourself in a contested divorce, you want to have a strong, experienced trial attorney on your side. Dianne Sullivan has eight years of courtroom experience, and she knows how to fight for your legal rights.

Uncontested divorce: Although mediation is less common than litigation in divorce proceedings, divorcing couples who use mediation report a much higher level of satisfaction with the outcome. It helps to have an attorney on your side who is an experienced mediator, and who is personally committed to mediation as preferable to litigation. Mediation is much quicker and less costly. In addition, uncontested divorces rarely get ugly, so private disputes remain private.

In addition to contested and uncontested divorces, attorney Dianne Sullivan is also familiar with following matters:

  • Division of marital assets (including high-asset divorces)
  • Prenuptial agreements (negotiation, enforcement and disputes)
  • Child custody
  • Child support

The Sullivan Law Office provides client-focused legal services to people with divorce and custody issues. Dianne Sullivan takes the time to explain what's going on so that clients can understand their situations and make informed decisions.
