What Is an Uncontested Divorce?

Uncontested divorce occurs when both spouses are in agreement about all aspects of the divorce, including issues related to child custody, property division, and spousal support.

In some cases, an uncontested divorce can be completed in as little as a few weeks.

How to File for Uncontested Divorce in Arizona

In order to file for an uncontested divorce, one spouse must have been a resident of Arizona for at least 90 days. Both spouses must agree to the divorce, and they must also be in agreement about how to handle all of the following issues:

  • Child custody
  • Child support
  • Property division
  • Debt division
  • Spousal support

The couple will need to create a written agreement that outlines the terms of the divorce. This agreement must include information about how the couple plans to handle all of the above issues. It must also include information about how the couple plans to handle any other issues related to the divorce, such as what their legal names will be after the divorce is finalized.

Once the agreement is complete, the couple will then need to complete the necessary paperwork and submit it to the court. If the couple has children, they will also need to complete the necessary paperwork to establish a child custody agreement.

The court will then review the paperwork and either approve or deny the divorce. If the court approves the divorce, the couple will need to wait at least 60 days before the divorce can be finalized. If the couple has children, the court will wait at least 90 days before the divorce can be finalized. During this time, the couple can work with their attorneys to ensure that all of the necessary paperwork is complete and that all of the necessary steps have been taken. Once the waiting period is over, the court will then issue a final decree of divorce.
