Arizona’s no-fault divorce only requires that one spouse desire the separation for the process to take place. The state of Arizona’s residency requirement is that at least one spouse must have been a resident for at least 90 days.
In Arizona, the legal process begins when the divorce Petition (Also referred to as the “Petition for Dissolution of Marriage”). Other required documentation such as a summons and preliminary injunction are also filed. This documentation notifies the court of your intent to divorce or legally separate. There is a mandatory court fee for filing at the beginning of the process.
Following the Petition, the Acceptance of Service is signed and filed, at which time there is a 60 waiting period before the final Consent Decree can be filed with the courts. We track all family court deadlines and ensure that your documentation meets all court mandated timeframes. The courts require a second filing fee at the time of Service. After the Consent Decree has been filed and approved by the court with a Judge’s signature, the dissolution of marriage is final.
Our process is amicable so neither you nor your spouse will be “served” a Petition. In litigation, each spouse must hire a costly divorce lawyer. Additionally, in litigated cases, a process server will present a Petition full of demands to the spouse being “served,” often causing a great deal of conflict. You can avoid a family law fight by choosing mediation.
Spouses do not have to fight through their divorce. Aggressive attorneys generally make circumstances worse for families because they create unnecessary conflict. Attorneys work in a retainer system. In Arizona, attorneys require an initial retainer of $5,000 – $15,000 for each spouse. They bill $300 – $400 per hour of working on your case. When spouses go through litigation, more fighting causes more time to drag on and attorneys charge you for every minute. Law firms make more money the longer your divorce case takes. The average cost of divorce in Arizona may be a combined total of $30,000 – $40,000.
In mediation, our flat fee removes the incentive for causing unnecessary conflict. Our total flat fee is 80-90% less than the average cost of divorce.
Mediation allows you to stay in control of your divorce process. You make informed decisions throughout your divorce or legal separation process on all issues that need to be agreed upon.
