Getting a divorce in Tucson is known as a “dissolution of marriage.” A divorce in Arizona dissolves the marriage and restores the parties’ relationship status to single. A divorce case also divides community property and debts and makes a determination in regards to alimony (spousal maintenance). Divorce cases that involve minor children also include orders regarding custody (legal decision-making), parenting time, and child support.
You or your spouse may file for divorce in Arizona. Divorces are granted to the Husband and Wife, respectively, regardless of which spouse files for divorce.
In Arizona, neither party is required by law to show marital misconduct in order to file for divorce (unless you have a covenant marriage). However, the spouse filing for divorce must state that the marriage is irretrievably broken and there is no reasonable prospect of reconciliation.
If the marriage is a covenant marriage, the court must find that certain requirements are met, unless both parties agree with the divorce proceeding. Please contact our office if you need a list of the grounds for dissolving a covenant marriage (divorce).
Arizona has a 90-day requirement that must be met prior to filing for divorce. Either party must live in Arizona for at least 90 days or have been a member of the armed forces stationed for at least 90 days prior to filing for divorce. Divorce cases with minor children may have a longer residence requirement when dealing with issues regarding custody (legal decision making), and parenting time. Please contact our office if you have questions about the residency requirement with minor children.
Arizona has a 60 day waiting period which begins after the date of service. The Court will not grant a divorce until the 60-day waiting period has expired regardless of whether the divorce is agreed upon or not. Uncontested divorce proceedings can be finalized soon after the sixty-day waiting period. If the divorce is contested, the duration of the process will be dependent on the Court’s schedule and the complexity of the contested issues.
Arizona allows you to represent yourself in your own divorce proceedings, from filling out all forms, petitions, and motions, to attending court hearings before a judge. However, keep in mind that all documents must be filed properly and on time, and must conform to the Arizona Rules of Family Law Procedure.
In some cases, it may not be necessary to hire an attorney to prepare your divorce documents and assist you with the divorce process. Certified Legal Document Preparers (paralegals) can provide you with the help you need at an affordable price.
