A Family Law Attorney Guiding Clients Through Uncontested Divorce

Arizona divorces fall into several distinct categories. An uncontested divorce is when one party files a petition for dissolution of marriage, and both spouses agree to the terms of the divorce. While an uncontested divorce is often the least complicated divorce option, it still requires an attorney’s professional experience and attention to detail. In Scottsdale and throughout the Phoenix metro area, you can find the help you are looking for at Steven N. Cole, LLC.

How Does Uncontested Divorce Work?

To qualify as an uncontested divorce, Arizona law requires meeting the following criteria:

  • The marriage must be “irretrievably broken,” meaning there is no reasonable possibility that the spouses will get back together
  • Both spouses must agree to the division of all marital property and debts
  • Both spouses agree on the issue of spousal support

There are, however, many necessary considerations even in this seemingly simple scenario. In Arizona, uncontested divorces may proceed by default, by consent decree, or by agreement, among other options, each requiring that certain conditions are met and the appropriate paperwork is submitted. Dependent on a number of factors, including children, next steps may include mediation, hearings and, ultimately, a judge’s decision. Each of these phases involve strict timelines, document submission, notarization and other official agreements, all of which can be streamlined by working with an experienced Phoenix divorce attorney.
