It has long been said that the in criminal law, you have bad people at their best, while in family law, you have good people at their worst.
Mr. Robbins often says that if you want the meanest, nastiest attorney in Flagstaff, you don't want him to represent you.
But he adds that in family law court "mean and nasty" is not only expensive, it is usually counterproductive and inappropriate in a family law case.
Instead, steady and sober judgment is what the client needs.
Unlike more populous counties with multiple judges who rotate in and out of family court, Coconino County has a small legal community with only two family law judges.

If the case can be settled, and your spouse or partner does not file an Answer, then there is no need for Disclosure & Discovery.
For that reason, our office often offers a open extension of time for the filing of an Answer.
If an Answer is filed then under the Arizona Rules of Family Law Procedure (ARFLP) each party has detailed disclosure requirements which are in Rule 49, ARFLP.
If a party does not disclose required information, they can be punished by the Court.
One of the worst punishment is if the Court orders that a party cannot use a document or witness that hasn't been disclosed.

The worst thing to do, if you've been served with a Dissolution of Marriage (Divorce) court papers or Paternity court papers, is to do nothing.
Being "served" includes the signing of a blank form acknowledging that you have received a document.
It can even be as simple as signing for an envelope from a Postal Carrier, or a delivery service such as FedEx or UPS can result in you being served.
You may feel depressed or helpless and want to ignore what's happening.
But it won't just go away.
Time is running out to DO SOMETHING POSITIVE to protect your future.

Mr. Robbins can make referrals in other associated areas of law, such as Pre-Nupital Agreements and Tribal Court cases where he does not practice.
Many of these areas overlap.
For example, a non-parent can obtain custody of a child from a biological parent through a Power of Attorney, a Guardianship, Grandparent Custody, an In Loco Parentis Petition, a Child Protective Services Dependency, a Private Dependency Petition, Termination of Parental Rights and an Adoption.
Each of these areas has different rules and each produces different outcomes.
