Common questions about Family Law in Arizona

Answered by Arizona Attorney Search Network

How long does a divorce take in Arizona?

Arizona requires a 60-day waiting period after service of the petition before a divorce can be finalized (ARS § 25-329). Uncontested divorces typically resolve in 90-120 days; contested cases involving custody or asset disputes commonly take 12-18 months.

How does Arizona handle domestic violence in family-law cases?

ARS § 25-403.03 requires the court to consider documented domestic violence in legal decision-making determinations, and prevents joint legal decision-making where there has been significant domestic violence. Orders of protection are governed by ARS § 13-3602 and can be filed in Superior, Justice, or Municipal Court; an attorney is not required for filing.

Is mediation required in Arizona family-law cases?

In most counties, yes - particularly for legal decision-making and parenting time disputes. Maricopa County uses Conciliation Services under ARS § 25-381.09, and other counties have similar court-connected mediation. Property and support issues are typically not court-mandated to mediation but are often voluntarily mediated, since judges encourage settlement.
