Understanding Community Property in Arizona

Before we dive into the specifics of how we can help, it’s important to understand what community property is. In Arizona, community property refers to, with some exceptions, any assets or debts acquired by either spouse during the marriage, except for gifts and inheritances. This includes:

• Real estate
• Bank accounts
• Retirement accounts
• Investments
• Personal property (like cars, furniture, and jewelry)
• Debts (like credit card balances and loans)

The law requires that community property be divided equitably, which doesn’t always mean equally.

Carlos helped me through the worst time of my life...thank you.

I am very glad I chose Kent Millward and Hildebrand Law to represent me in my divorce. There was some complexity with my case and Kent took the time to understand the situation thoroughly and apply his knowledge of the law to put me in a situation in which I could negotiate a fair settlement. Throughout the process, I was given accurate information about what I should expect and what the viable options were. Kent did a great job of being firm in negotiations and in arguments before the court while also leaving the door open for an eventual settlement. All my interactions with the firm were very positive and I could not have asked for anything more.I was also represented by Carlos Noel at the firm for estate issues and then some follow-up on my divorce to remove spousal support. Carlos was great, communicated clearly and accurately, and kept fees to a minimum.I would highly recommend the firm to anyone needing representation in such matters.

Had a great experience with Kip Micuda, who has helped me with multiple issues over the course of a decade. Highly recommended.

Lidia K.

I had a complex divorce and custody case that few law firms were willing to take because I work overseas. Carlos Noel and Hildebrand took my case and helped me strategize. While they are not cheap, it's worth every penny. They were responsive and thorough and open to feedback/input. I would highly recommend for anyone looking for experts to help navigate this very confusing and complicated terrain. Thank you Carlos and team for helping me close this chapter of my life with tact and professionalism in less than 1 year!

Elizabeth M.

My husband and I would like to express our profound gratitude to Carlos Noel and the entire team at Hildebrand Law. Over the years, they have been our steadfast navigators through various family matters, from custody agreements to estate planning.Carlos, alongside Lindsey, his paralegal, have consistently demonstrated the utmost professionalism. Their expertise is matched only by their compassion, making complex legal processes feel manageable and humane.

Whitney M.

I was in a very difficult situation involving divorcing my then husband and fighting for the well-being of my daughter. I discovered Hildebrand and met with Lonnie Sheinson. The first meeting I had with him, I felt at ease and confident that he and the team would fight for me. Lonnie is incredibly knowledgeable about the law and really went to war for me. We ended up winning our trial and I believe it was because of Lonnie's attention to detail and willingness to help that won it for us. I've now moved away from Arizona and Lonnie still will take the time to answer my calls if I have any questions. He's been so helpful and I'm so grateful for Lonnie and his team! If you need a fantastic divorce/ family attorney, Lonnie is the best!

Kip Micuda represented me in a very contentious custody matter. Mr Micuda possesses one of the sharpest legal minds and provides truly compassionate representation for his clients. My children and I are in a much better place due to Mr Micuda's efforts.

Sterling W.

The entire team at Hildebrand Law was excellent in every aspect of my custody case. Kent Millward and Karla Spaulding-Huft were fantastic. Everyone was extremely helpful and professional throughout the entire process. Their preparation and dedication to my case helped ensure a winning ruling. I have and will continue to refer anyone going through a challenging situation to speak with Chris and his team.

Harvey T.

Michael Clancy worked with us on 2 cases. He was thorough and always listened to our concerns and needs. Very professional while still being personable. He and his staff made us feel as though our cases were important and gave us realistic expectations of the outcomes.
