Divorce / Dissolution of Marriage
Arizona is a no fault divorce state, meaning if one of the parties wants to divorce, the court will grant it. A person simply alleges that the marriage is irretrievably broken without reasonable prospect of reconciliation. However, a divorce involves more issues than the desire to end a marriage. Custody, visitation and support of any children must be determined. Property accumulated during the marriage must be divided, which will be an equitable division under Arizona’s community property law unless there is a written agreement to the contrary. In order for property division to occur, the marital property must be appraised. Also the payment of alimony or spousal maintenance must be determined.
