I want a divorce and also need help getting child support. Can the County Attorney's Office help me?
The County Attorney's Office cannot provide legal advice or take legal action in your divorce. You should consult with a private lawyer. For matters concerning child support, call the Arizona Department of Economic Security's Child Support Enforcement Department at (602) 252-4045.

I believe my elderly relative is being victimized and/or abused. Who can I contact?
If you think an elderly individual is a victim of abuse, call your local police department. For other crimes committed against an elderly individual, such as telephone scams, contact the Arizona Attorney General's Elder Affairs Program at (602) 542-2124, or visit the Attorney General's Seniors web page.

I am a senior and have a legal question. Where can I get legal advice?
