Frequently Asked Questions

Q.

What is the fastest way to get divorced in Arizona?

A.

The fastest way to get divorced in Arizona is to pursue an uncontested divorce in which both parties agree on all terms, including property division, child custody, and support arrangements.

This process is expedited significantly when both parties work collaboratively and file the necessary paperwork without dispute, likely with the help of a divorce attorney.

Engaging an attorney streamlines the process. We’ll ensure all legal documents are correctly prepared and filed, reducing the likelihood of delays due to errors or omissions. We can also facilitate negotiations and guide you through Arizona’s specific divorce laws, contributing to a quicker resolution.

Q.

Can you get a divorce without going to court in Arizona?

A.

Yes, it is possible to get a divorce without going to court in Arizona through an uncontested divorce. In fact, that’s usually our aim.

In this favorable scenario, both parties agree on all terms and can submit a consent decree to the court. If the court approves the decree, the divorce can be finalized without a formal court appearance, making the ordeal quicker, less stressful, and less complicated.

Q.

How long do we have to be separated before seeking a divorce?

A.

In Arizona, there is no mandatory separation period before filing for divorce. As long as one spouse has been a resident of Arizona for at least 90 days, a petition for divorce can be filed.

However, once the divorce petition is filed, there is a mandatory 60-day waiting period before the divorce can be finalized. During this time, both parties can negotiate terms or attend mediation to resolve any disputes.

Working with a divorce lawyer in Arizona during this period will help ensure all aspects of the divorce are properly addressed and agreed upon, facilitating a smoother process once the waiting period ends.

Q.

Does it matter who initiated the divorce?

A.

In Arizona, it does not matter who initiates the divorce in terms of the outcome or division of assets.

Arizona is a no-fault divorce state, meaning that the reason for the divorce does not impact the court’s decisions regarding property division, child custody, or support. However, the person who files for divorce (the petitioner) can have some procedural advantages, such as having the first opportunity to present their case.

Q.

Can I file for divorce in Arizona if I got married in another state?

A.

Yes, you can file for divorce in Arizona even if you were married in another state, as long as you meet Arizona’s residency requirements. One of the spouses must have lived in Arizona for at least 90 days before filing for divorce.

Once this requirement is met, the Arizona courts have jurisdiction over the divorce proceedings. A divorce attorney will assist in navigating any complexities that may arise from interstate marriages, ensuring that all legal documents are properly filed and your rights are protected throughout the process.
