Arizona Divorce Laws

-From 25-312 of the Arizona statutes.
According to Arizona law, at least one of the parties must be a resident of the state of Arizona for at least 90 days before filing the divorce papers.
-From 25-312 of the Arizona statutes.
The divorce papers should be filed in the Arizona county where the petitioner (person who files for divorce) resides.
The final divorce hearing may not be held, and the final divorce decree not granted, until at least 60 days have passed since the service of the divorce papers. You'll file a stipulation with the court, and the Judge will review the stipulation to determine whether a hearing is required. In many cases, the Judge can simply sign the decree without requiring a final hearing.
-From 25-329 of the Arizona Statutes.
