Family law filings for Maricopa County, including dissolution of marriage, legal separation, and post-decree matters, go through the Superior Court of Arizona in Maricopa County. The court's Family Department operates out of the Central Court Building downtown plus three regional centers: the Northeast Regional Center covers the county's north and northeast areas, the Northwest Regional Center covers the West Valley, and the Southeast Justice Center covers the East Valley around Mesa, so residents are not always required to travel downtown. Attorneys are required to e-file family law documents through an approved electronic filing provider; self-represented parties are encouraged to e-file but may also file in person or by mail.

Because mediation resolves the terms in advance, most Maricopa County spouses never need to appear at the courthouse; the mediation agreement is submitted through the court's own filing process for a judge's review and approval. Your mediator stays neutral throughout and represents neither spouse, but rather guides you both every step of the way.

Get the law, in clear language. We explain what Arizona law says about your situation in plain terms, with no scare tactics and no pressure to decide anything on the spot.

Leave with real numbers. You will know the cost, whether meeting in person at our Scottsdale office makes sense for you, and a realistic timeline working at your pace. Most Maricopa County spouses finish mediation in 2 to 4 months, well short of a litigated divorce.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where will my Maricopa County divorce case be filed?+

Family law cases in Maricopa County are filed with the Superior Court of Arizona in Maricopa County, primarily through the Central Court Building in downtown Phoenix. Your mediator will guide you through each step of the process.

Do I have to come into the Scottsdale office, or can we meet virtually?+

Yes, we can meet virtually. Aurit Mediation's headquarters in Scottsdale is available for in-person meetings, and every meeting can also be conducted securely online, so spouses anywhere in Maricopa County can mediate without an office visit.

Which court handles my case if I live in the East Valley, West Valley, or Northeast Valley?+

Beyond the Central Court Building downtown, the Superior Court of Arizona in Maricopa County operates regional family centers: the Southeast Justice Center in Mesa, the Northwest Regional Center in Surprise, and the Northeast Regional Center in Phoenix. We will confirm the right location for your case at your consultation.

What if my spouse lives in a different Maricopa County city, or elsewhere in Arizona?+

Our virtual process was built for exactly this situation. As long as both spouses can join a meeting by phone or computer, living in different cities or counties does not stand in the way of reaching an agreement.

Does my mediator represent me or my spouse?+

Neither. Your Aurit Mediation mediator is a licensed attorney-mediator who stays neutral throughout the process and does not represent either spouse. Many Maricopa County spouses also choose to have an independent attorney review the final agreement before signing.
