Christina Muir

Christina has focused her practice in family law and has helped hundreds of individuals find peace in what is a very tumultuous time in their lives. Areas of practice include but are not limited to: divorce with children, divorce without children, paternity actions (custody actions in the absence of a marriage), child support calculations and modifications, post-decree enforcement and modification, contempt of court, order of protections, pre and post nuptial agreements, cohabitation agreements, etc.

Practicing family law requires a level of understanding that best results from personal experience. Christina is a mother of two children, and a wife of a United States Air Force combat rescue officer; she understands the unique circumstances that come with both military life and parenting young children. Christina is able to relate to the struggles that many families face on a daily basis and help them find a resolution that is best for their children's developmental needs.

Christina is an alumni of Arizona State University and graduated in May 2014 with a Bachelors in Philosophy, two minors in Justice Studies and English Literature, and a certificate in Ethics. Christina graduated ASU Magna Cum Laude.

In May 2017, Christina graduated from the University of Arizona James E. Rogers College of Law. While in law school, Christina served as the President of the Family and Juvenile Law Association for two years, and as an Article Editor for the Arizona Journal of International and Comparative Law. Christina spent the majority of her second year writing her thesis on the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act (UCCJEA), and its effect on families continuously exchanging children between the Arizona and Mexico border. This topic was and continues to be very relevant to the parenting styles that exist along the Southern Arizona region. Christina maintained membership in the Student Bar Association, Law Women's Association, Association of Family and Conciliation Courts, and American Bar Association.

Christina also pursued work in several clinics, most notably, the Child and Family Law Clinic. During her time in the Child and Family Law Clinic, Christina represented several children in dependency cases. Christina dealt with issues such as child abuse, neglect, visitation, adoption, substance abuse, and termination of parental rights. The other clinics include: Southern Arizona Legal Aid Wills Clinic, and Southern Arizona Gender Alliance Name and Gender Marker Clinic.

Christina aimed to keep busy during her summers in law school. She clerked for Judge Bibbens (Family Law Bench, Pima County Superior Court) in Summer 2015. In Summer 2016, Christina interned for the Pima County Office of Children's Counsel. Finally, Christina interned for Karp & Weiss, P.C. from December 2016 to May 2017.

Outside of practice, Christina is happiest when she is with her children, husband, family, and friends. Christina also enjoys snowboarding in the winter months and traveling whenever possible.
