Frequently Asked Questions
Arizona requires a mandatory 60-day waiting period after filing for divorce under A.R.S. § 25-329. An uncontested divorce where both parties agree can be finalized in as little as 60–90 days. Contested divorces involving disputes over property, custody, or support can take 6–18 months or longer. You must also meet Arizona's 90-day residency requirement under A.R.S. § 25-312 before filing in Gold Canyon.
Arizona is a community property state under A.R.S. § 25-318. Property acquired during marriage is generally split 50/50. Separate property — owned before marriage or received as a gift or inheritance — is typically kept by the original owner. Debts are also community property. A Gold Canyon family law attorney can help identify what is community versus separate property in your specific situation.
Arizona courts determine custody based on the best interests of the child under A.R.S. § 25-403, considering factors including the child's relationship with each parent, each parent's ability to provide stability, and the child's adjustment to home and school. Arizona courts generally favor joint legal custody (shared decision-making) unless there is a history of domestic violence under A.R.S. § 25-403.03. A Gold Canyon family law attorney can advocate for your parental rights.
Arizona does not require a period of separation before filing for divorce. However, Arizona is a 'no-fault' divorce state — you do not need to prove wrongdoing to obtain a divorce. The only grounds required under A.R.S. § 25-312 are that the marriage is irretrievably broken. You must establish 90 days of Arizona residency before filing in Gold Canyon. A family law attorney can help you begin the process.
