Disclosures

A legal disclosure gives information to the other parties in a court case. To ensure fairness, the court wants each party in a case to share all relevant information with the counter-party as a disclosure.

This rule allows everyone a fair opportunity to prepare for a trial or family court hearing (Rule 49). If you need to disclose information under Arizona Rule 49, or for any other legal case, you can benefit greatly with professionals helping you with these documents. Contact us now.

Pretrial disclosures

Whether your case is in criminal court, civil court, or family court, disclosures must be managed carefully to avoid losing by default. Although an experienced AZ Certified Legal Document Preparer (CLDP) can’t give legal advice nor represent you in court, they can provide affordable help in preparing and filing well-written disclosures and other documents. A document preparer can also manage the all-important time schedule to make sure all documents are filed before their mandatory deadlines.

Which disclosures are mandatory?

If a case involves child custody and support issues, spousal maintenance, or unusual expenses, then an accurate Affidavit of Financial Information (AFI) must be completed and submitted. Many other disclosures can be decided privately between the parties, without becoming part of the public record.

Complying with rules of evidence

However, if one of the parties files a notice requiring strict compliance, then evidence presented to the court comply with all detailed requirements provided within the Arizona Rules of Family Law Procedure and other statutes. Professional preparation of these documents is absolutely essential for both parties.
