LEGISLATIVE REFORM & SOLUTIONS TO IMPROVE ARIZONA FAMLIES
WHAT WE DO
In our experience parents retain control and valuable resources by resolving issues outside of litigation. Our services include acting as a neutral to assist families with initial parenting plans and/or modifying existing parenting plans.
We can also act as a Court Appointed Advisor (CAA) or a Case Management Supervisor (under Rule 81) providing supervised visitation and/or ensuring adherence to court orders.
We also offer Family Court strategy consultations to tailor a plan to avoid, or end, Court involvement. AZAS offers AFFORDABLE, realistic and child-centric solutions to end the cycle of litigation.
LEGISLATIVE EFFORTS
AZAS is Arizona's premiere legislative advisory group working towards Family Court reform. The 2025 legislative session is focused on analyzing and implementing policies to improve Child's Best Interest Standards.
There's a nationwide Family Court crisis compelling many to advocate for change. Arizona is a leader in these efforts with bipartisan support of supporting family dynamics.

MEDIATION vs LITIGATION + CASE MANAGEMENT
Mediation allows families to avoid court litigations which can drag on for years resulting in increased conflict, traumatized children and exorbitant legal fees. Prioritizing the needs of your child is best accomplished outside of Family Court. In cases where the Court has already issued orders, it's not uncommon for disputes to arise afterwards. Returning to court is neither cost-effective, nor timely.
AZAS offers a practical path to resolution. We believes families should preserve resources (financial, physical and emotional) for themselves and for their children.
WHO WE ARE
APM has 10 years of experience navigating Arizona's Family Court during a marked shift away from prioritizing children and families. Our founders hold a Master's in Dispute Resolution from Pepperdine Law, a J.D. from Purdue University and 20+ years working in conflict resolution and litigation strategy.
We collaborate with Family Court judges, mental health providers, visitation supervisors, and family law attorneys - all committed to the philosophy that even the most contentious, dysfunctional family dynamics achieve the best resolution outside of the court system.
