Spousal maintenance (alimony) in Arizona is governed by A.R.S. § 25-319. A court may award maintenance if one spouse lacks sufficient property for reasonable needs or cannot be self-sufficient. Factors include the standard of living during marriage, duration of marriage, and each spouse's earning capacity. Unlike child support, spousal maintenance is not based on a set formula — a El Mirage divorce attorney is essential to negotiate a fair outcome.
Retirement accounts earned during marriage are community property under A.R.S. § 25-318 and are subject to division. Dividing a 401(k) or pension requires a Qualified Domestic Relations Order (QDRO). IRAs require a different transfer mechanism. Improperly dividing these accounts can result in taxes and penalties. A El Mirage divorce attorney experienced in asset division can ensure your retirement interests are protected.
