Common questions about Family Law in Arizona

Answered by Arizona Attorney Search Network

What is spousal maintenance in Arizona?

Arizona uses the term 'spousal maintenance' rather than 'alimony.' Under ARS § 25-319, the court considers the standard of living during the marriage, length of the marriage, age and health of both parties, ability to earn, contributions to the other spouse's career, and other factors. Awards may be temporary, rehabilitative (set duration), or - rarely - of indefinite duration.

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.

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.
