Common questions about Family Law in Arizona

Answered by Arizona Attorney Search Network

Can I move out of state with my child after an Arizona divorce?

Under ARS § 25-408, a parent must give the other parent at least 45 days' written notice before relocating with a child either out of state or more than 100 miles within Arizona. The other parent may petition to prevent relocation; the court evaluates the move under best-interest factors. Moving without notice can result in serious sanctions and reversal of the move.

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.

What does 'legal decision-making' mean in Arizona?

Since 2013, Arizona has used the term 'legal decision-making' in place of 'custody' under ARS § 25-401. It refers to the right and responsibility to make major decisions for a child - education, healthcare, religion - and is awarded as either joint or sole decision-making by the court based on the best interests of the child.
