Arizona Divorce in a Non Covenant Marriage without Minor Children — Petitioner Only, is a type of divorce where the petitioner is the only party to the divorce. This divorce does not involve minor children, and does not involve a covenant marriage. It is important to note that in the state of Arizona, a covenant marriage is one that was entered into after August 1, 1998, and requires a more rigorous process for divorce. There are two types of Arizona divorce in a non covenant marriage without minor children — Petitioner Only: an uncontested divorce and a contested divorce. An uncontested divorce is when both parties agree to the terms of the divorce, which include division of assets and debts, and other matters such as alimony and child custody (if applicable). A contested divorce is when one or both parties do not agree on the terms of the divorce and must proceed to a trial. In either case, the petitioner must file a Petition for Dissolution of Marriage with the court and serve the paperwork on the respondent. The respondent then has the chance to respond to the petition, either agreeing or disagreeing with the terms of the divorce. The court will then determine the terms of the divorce in accordance with the laws of the state of Arizona.
