Arizona’s
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!

HELPFUL ARTICLES
Consequences for Hiding Assets in an Arizona Divorce
Divorce proceedings can be emotionally and financially taxing, and the equitable division of marital property and debts often lies at the heart of disputes. In Arizona, where community property laws govern the division of assets and debts a community property state like Arizona requires careful consideration of all financial aspects. Acquired during the marriage, hiding assets is particularly consequential. This article delves into the penalties for hiding assets, emphasizing the importance of full financial disclosure and its impact on divorce outcomes.
Protecting Your Retirement Savings During an Arizona Divorce: A Guide to QDRO
Dividing assets during a divorce can be a stressful and complex process, especially when it involves retirement accounts and pensions, which must be divided in the divorce. In Arizona, community property laws dictate that most assets acquired during the marriage are considered community property and should be divided equitably. This includes retirement savings, which can be a significant part of marital property. A Qualified Domestic Relations Order (QDRO) is a critical legal tool that ensures retirement accounts are divided fairly and legally, protecting both parties involved.
Child Relocation Cases: How Arizona Courts Handle Them
Child relocation disputes are among the most sensitive and complex issues in Arizona child custody matters. When a parent wishes to move out of state or relocate more than 100 miles from their current home, the Arizona family court must carefully weigh the rights of both parents and, most importantly, the best interests of the child. Whether you are a custodial parent seeking to relocate with the child or a non-custodial parent contesting the move, having the right legal representation is crucial. At De Novo Law, we specialize in child custody cases, offering accessible and expert legal services through Arizona’s first Licensed Legal Paraprofessional (LP), Stephanie Villalobos.
