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.
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.
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.
