Legal Paraprofessional Solutions

your affordable alternative offering the same quality service and experience as a family law attorney.

WELCOME TO DE NOVO LAW

The words De Novo is Latin meaning “from the new,” or “as if from the first time.” We chose this name because, for the first time ever, the Arizona Supreme Court has allowed non-lawyers to obtain a license by the Arizona State Bar to practice law in certain areas.

This newly formed classification is known as a licensed Legal Paraprofessional, or LP for short. Mrs. Stephanie Villalobos is Arizona’s VERY FIRST licensed Legal Paraprofessional! This incredible accomplishment allows De Novo Law, LLC to have roles in legal practice similar to the roles performed by nurse practitioners in medicine. LPs can offer full legal services in administrative, criminal, civil, and family law matters with very few restrictions. Ms. Villalobos currently practices solely in the area of family law.

Much like an Arizona family law attorney or divorce lawyer, a legal paraprofessional can handle, and fully represent, clients in almost all of the same family law practice areas. The significant difference is that an LP can be much more affordable!

Can I Date Other People Before My Divorce Is Finalized in Arizona?

Can I Date Other People Before My Divorce Is Finalized in Arizona?

Ending a marriage is emotional, and it’s natural to want companionship while everything is pending. Many clients ask if they can date before the court signs the final divorce decree. The short answer in Arizona is: dating itself isn’t illegal and it won’t stop your divorce from going through. But the impact of dating can affect key parts of your case—especially custody (called legal decision-making and parenting time), property division if money is spent on a new relationship, and the overall tone of the divorce proceeding.
