FAQ
The length of time that a divorce takes in Arizona varies from couple to couple. The typical uncontested divorce in Arizona usually takes 90 to 120 days to complete. The shortest amount of time that it can take is 60 days, but some contested divorces can end up taking several years to be finalized.
The quickest way to get a divorce in Arizona is for the parties to first file for divorce in Arizona and agree on all of the terms of their divorce. You or your attorney will draft the proper settlement documents and submit those documents to the court.
It is possible to get a divorce without going to court, especially in cases where both parties mutually agree to the divorce and its terms. This process is often referred to as an ``uncontested divorce'' or ``amicable divorce.'' Here are the key steps and considerations:
Uncontested Divorce in Arizona Technically, an uncontested divorce could be over in as little as about 70 days—but those situations are rare. On average, an uncontested divorce will take between 90 and 120 days. An uncontested divorce is just like it sounds. The couple agrees on every aspect of the divorce.
If the marriage includes no children and few assets, if you have lived in Arizona for at least 90 days, and if you believe your marriage is irretrievably broken, an uncontested divorce in Arizona may be granted in as little as 60 days (although this is rare).
In short, yes, you can get divorced without going to court in California if your case is uncontested. An uncontested case means that both parties agree on all significant issues, such as property division, custody, and child support.
You can negotiate with the help of your attorneys, using them as intermediaries if necessary. Many couples are also able to reach settlement through alternative dispute resolution (ADR) means such as mediation or Collaborative divorce.
Because these issues have been settled, there is no need to litigate them in court. As a result, typically the judge will simply sign off on the terms and issue a final decree of divorce.
