FAQ
If you do not initially agree on all of the issues but end up settling your divorce, an uncontested divorce in Arizona can take anywhere between 60-days to 120-days in Maricopa County. It all depends upon how willing both spouses are to reach a reasonable settlement.
A consent decree is an agreement or settlement that resolves a dispute between two parties without admission of guilt (in a criminal case) or liability (in a civil case).
It is not strictly a judgment, but rather a settlement agreement approved by the court.
A Summary Consent Decree Process is for couples (with or without minor children) who agree on most issues and want to file for a Summary Consent Decree (the divorce). The package can be filed all at once and the court will sign the Decree after the required sixty (60) waiting period. You can be divorced in 60 days.
For name change, you must include your ATLAS number, court case number, names of both parties as shown on your divorce paperwork (or a court-ordered name change or marriage license), your new name, daytime phone number, and effective date of change.
If parties agree to resolve the case with a settlement agreement, you must ensure that it is legally binding. Consent decrees are court orders, so you will have legal recourse if someone does not abide by the judgment. You will have fewer steps to take if a party does not follow the order approved by the judge.
A Consent Decree is the final order signed by the Judge when parties have agreed on everything required for a divorce, legal separation, or annulment.
In this case, the offending party would be committed for contempt. Decrees by consent are more binding than those issued in invitum, or against an unwilling party, which are subject to modification by the same court, and reversal by higher courts. The decree issued by consent cannot be modified, except by consent.
If you're doing it on your own, however, you may contact your court clerk for information on how to do this. The motion has to state what your ex-spouse isn't doing, what areas he or she is in violation of. It must clarify why he or she ought to be held in contempt of the divorce decree. You must prove your case.
