Whether you are facing divorce, a complicated custody dispute, or property division, our full slate of legal services will help you find your voice and stand tall. We represent individuals throughout the state at our offices in Phoenix and Scottsdale, AZ.”

Divorce Representation: Working With You to Manage Making A Change

“Divorce transcends legal proceedings; it demands a life overhaul. At Zhivago Law, we recognize the multi-faceted challenges of dissolving a marriage. The divorce representation we offer is guided by clear communication, direct access to your attorney, and sustainable results. We walk with you from the first consultation through to the final decree, advising you on matters that can include spousal support, asset division, and debt distribution. Kerrie Droban oversees the entire process with each case, committed to making certain her clients are heard and their rights vigorously safeguarded. We aim to reduce dissension, promote amicable settlement, and when necessary, assertively and effectively seek resolution in court.”

Custody and Decision-Making: Prioritizing Your Child’s Interests

“Few matters involving Family Law are as sensitive – or as critical – as Custody and Parental Decision-Making. It is also the area of our law on which Arizona Courts tend to be the most inflexible. And so do we. Zhivago Law represents our clients in establishing, modifying, and enforcing Custody (known as legal decision making and parenting time in Arizona). We work with you to create parenting plans that respect your child’s best interests and reflect your family values through negotiation, mediation, and, if necessary, litigation. Our approach understands a family’s need for stability and healthy relationships both during and after significant change.”

Resolution of Family Law Matters: Strategic Advocacy

Family law is more than just divorce and custody matters. Zhivago Law manages a large range of family law issues, from legal separation, domestic partnership dissolution, pre- and post-nuptial agreements, to enforcement and modification of orders. Our focus is on solutions, not furthering conflict. Kerrie Droban’s personal past as a true crime writer and investigator affords her some unique tools for untying knots within difficult matters with compassion and clarity. No matter how simple or complicated your case, we will be honest in our counsel and apply creative solutions to meet your needs.

Property Division: Safeguarding Your Financial Future

“The amount of assets and debts involved often makes marital division the most challenging part of the divorce process. Arizona is a community property state, meaning that in general, all debts and assets acquired during a marriage shall be equitably divided. At Zhivago Law we extensively analyze your property and interpret its value in your financial portfolio, including real estate, investments, retirement accounts, business interests, and personal property. We also work hard to achieve a fair and equitable outcome through negotiation, mediation, or litigation. Our law firm does its best to identify hidden, undervalued, and difficult to value assets, assess complex financial portfolios, and protect your future.”

Negotiation and Mediation: Encouraging Successful Outcomes

“Sometimes, when it needs to end, litigation is not the best – or only – recourse. Often, family law issues can be resolved in a more efficient and less divisive manner through negotiation or mediation. Kerrie Droban has years of alternative dispute resolution experience on her side as we help clients avoid the significant emotional and financial costs of lengthy litigational solutions. Utilizing informed dialogue and skilled negotiation, we guide parties toward settlement so that their agreements are understood, accepted, and substantiated as standing for the test of time. Mediation empowers you over the process, outcome, and cost while maintaining relationships and minimizing stress.”
