Irretrievable breakdown of the marriage is the no-fault ground in Arizona. Previously one party needed to be at fault to file for divorce in Arizona, however now parties can divorce just because they no longer wish to be married. This is referred to as a no-fault divorce meaning you do not have to prove the fault of either party.
You must have made every reasonable effort to find the other party (or parties) and to give actual notice of this case by personal service of the required documents. You will be required to state, under penalty of perjury, the steps you have taken to try to locate the other parties and if the Court is not satisfied that you have taken all reasonable steps, your case may be delayed until the Court is satisfied all such steps have been taken. If, after a diligent search, you are unable to locate your spouse, you can proceed with service by publication. To do this, you submit a form to a newspaper that publishes legal notice. Publication must be in a newspaper in the county where you filed the Petition for Dissolution of Marriage (Divorce). You may also be required to publish notices in the county of your spouse's last known residence. The ad must run in the paper once a week for four consecutive weeks.
In most cases you will need to go to court to file the initial forms with the court. You may need to appear for the Judge to sign off on the Final Decree as well. If you and your spouse agree to the terms of the divorce, there will not need to be a trial.
Parents who are able to compromise on their custody arrangements, without turning the decision-making over to the judge, are strongly encouraged to do so. So long as your agreement is in the best interests of the children, you and the other parent may settle custody and access issues by private agreement. If you and your spouse are not able to reach an agreement the judge will do what is in the best interest of the child.
Arizona is an equitable distribution state. This means that in a divorce, the court will divide the assets in a fair and equitable manner. Equitable does not necessarily mean 50/50. Waste of community assets (for example, gambling losses or money spent on extramarital affairs) may be a factor the judge will consider. The party who committed waste by dissipating marital assets may be ordered to make an equalization payment to the innocent spouse, one sufficient to make up for a financial loss to the community.
If your spouse is willing to sign the Acceptance of Service you or a relative can serve the forms to your spouse. If your spouse is not willing to sign the Acceptance of Service, they can be served by a process server, a sheriff, or mail with a signature confirmation.
