What Is an Uncontested Divorce in Arizona?

An uncontested divorce is one where both spouses agree, or are very close to agreeing, on the major terms: parenting time and legal decision-making, child support, spousal maintenance, and how to divide property and debt. Because there is little or nothing left for a judge to decide, the process is dramatically simpler than a contested case. There are no opposing attorneys billing by the hour, no formal discovery, and no contested hearings to schedule.

Mediation is the natural home for an uncontested divorce. A single neutral mediator works with both of you to confirm the details, flag anything you may have overlooked, and prepare documents the court will accept. Arizona also requires a 60-day waiting period after the initial filing before any divorce can be finalized, so for most uncontested couples that waiting period ends up being the longest part of the entire process.

Why Mediation Is the Smart Path for an Uncontested Divorce

Agreeing with your spouse is a real advantage. Mediation helps you protect it rather than risk it on a process that reintroduces conflict or a form site that leaves you exposed to mistakes.

Predictable and affordable

One flat fee with no hourly billing means you know your cost up front. It's far less expensive than two attorneys, and far safer than a do-it-yourself site.

Fast

Most uncontested couples finish in one or two sessions, plus the mandatory state waiting period.

You never go to court

We prepare and file everything for you. No one is ever served, and you never have to appear before a judge.

Still thorough

Your mediator makes sure your agreement covers everything Arizona courts expect, so your decree isn't rejected on a technicality or reopened later because something was missed.

Uncontested Mediation vs. DIY Divorce Forms

Online "quickie divorce" form sites look inexpensive, but they leave you to interpret Arizona law entirely on your own. An incomplete or incorrect decree can cost far more to fix later, sometimes requiring a return to court to untangle property or parenting terms that weren't handled correctly the first time. Mediation sits in the sensible middle: still affordable and predictable, but with a licensed Arizona attorney-mediator making sure your agreement is complete, fair, and fully enforceable. You get the simplicity you're hoping for without the risk.

Parenting Plan Mediation

Child Support Mediation
