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!

Divorce Dilemmas: Navigating the Sale or Trade of Your Ex-Spouse’s Car in Arizona
Arizona is a community property state, meaning that any property acquired during the marriage is generally considered community property and must be divided equitably upon divorce. Arizona Revised Statute § 25-211 defines community property as any property acquired by either spouse during the marriage, except for gifts and inheritances. The car would likely be community property if purchased during the marriage. If the car is community property, you and your ex-spouse must agree on whether to sell the car.
