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.

A Old Town Scottsdale 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.

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.
