Family Law Attorneys in Arizona

Pre-screened Arizona family-law attorneys — statewide listings across all 15 counties for divorce, child custody, child support, adoption, paternity, prenuptial agreements, and domestic-violence matters. Arizona is a no-fault divorce state (ARS § 25-312) and a community-property state, with a 60-day mandatory waiting period (ARS § 25-329) and a 90-day residency requirement.

Spousal maintenance (alimony) is discretionary under ARS § 25-319 and turns on 13 statutory factors including length of marriage, earning capacity, and contributions to the other spouse’s training. Our Arizona spousal maintenance guide walks through how courts weigh those factors, typical award durations by marriage length, and the standards for modification or termination.

When a spouse refuses to participate, the petitioner is not stuck. Arizona allows divorce by default after proper service and a 20-day non-response window. Read our guide to divorce in Arizona when your spouse won’t sign for service-of-process rules, the default-application timing, what relief the court can enter without the absent spouse, and how to handle service-by-publication when the spouse cannot be located.

Orders of Protection under ARS § 13-3601 are available ex parte at any Arizona court — Justice, Municipal, or Superior. They can include no-contact terms, exclusive use of residence, custody/parenting-time provisions, and firearms surrender. Our Arizona order of protection guide covers the petition form, what counts as evidence of DV, the 10-day-after-service contested hearing, and how to renew or extend an order before it expires.
