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.

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.

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.
