Divorce & Family Law in Tucson: FAQ
General answers to common questions we hear from Tucson clients. Every case is different, so treat this as a starting point, not legal advice.
Arizona law requires that at least one spouse be domiciled in Arizona for at least 90 days before a divorce petition can be filed (A.R.S. § 25-312). We can review your specific situation and confirm whether the residency requirement is met.
Yes. Arizona is a community property state. Property and debt acquired during the marriage generally belongs to both spouses, with certain exceptions such as gifts, inheritances, and property acquired after a petition is served (A.R.S. § 25-211). In a divorce, the court divides community property equitably, which does not always mean equally (A.R.S. § 25-318).
It varies. Timing depends on how many issues are contested, whether the parties can agree, and the court’s schedule. We do not give a fixed timeline until we know the specifics of a case.
Many family law matters can be resolved through negotiation or mediation without a full trial. Some issues still require a hearing or a court appearance, and we prepare every case as though it may need one.
Arizona courts decide legal decision-making and parenting time based on the best interests of the child, considering factors set out under Arizona law (A.R.S. § 25-403).
