Residency

At least one person must have resided in Arizona for 90 days to file for divorce although time limits do vary from state to state.

Grounds For Divorce

In Arizona the only requirement is the marriage is broken beyond repair. One partner can claim the even if the other disagrees and does not want a divorce. A legal separation can be an option so one party can remain on the health insurance of the other party.

Custody Of Children

Child custody determinations are especially tough when a divorce is being contested and it is firmly advised to all couples to try and address child custody suites in an amicable manner – often with the use of a mediator. This is a far better option than letting a judge make a decision.

If you are a same sex couple in Arizona, be assured your divorce process will be treated the same by everyone compared to that of a straight couple.
