Common questions about Family Law in Arizona

Answered by Arizona Attorney Search Network

Is Arizona a community property state?

Yes. Under ARS § 25-211, almost all assets and debts acquired during the marriage are community property, owned 50/50 regardless of whose name is on the title. Property is divided equitably (not necessarily equally) on divorce, and gifts and inheritances received individually generally remain separate property.

What happens to retirement accounts in an Arizona divorce?

Retirement contributions made during the marriage are community property under ARS § 25-318 and must be divided equitably. Division of qualified retirement plans (401(k), pensions) requires a Qualified Domestic Relations Order (QDRO), which is a separate court order specifying how the plan administrator should split the account without triggering taxes or early-withdrawal penalties.

How is child support calculated in Arizona?

Arizona uses the Income Shares Model under ARS § 25-320 and the Arizona Child Support Guidelines. Both parents' gross incomes, parenting time percentages, healthcare costs, and childcare costs feed a worksheet that produces a presumptive amount. The court can deviate from the presumed amount on specific factual findings, and orders can be modified for a substantial and continuing change of circumstances.
