Arizona Legal Separation without Children when Parties AGREE to all Terms is a process in which married couples can separate from each other without divorcing. It is an alternative to divorce for couples who do not want to end their marriage but wish to live apart. The process involves the same legal steps as a divorce, including filing a petition for legal separation, setting out the terms of the separation agreement, and having the agreement approved by a judge. There are two types of Arizona Legal Separation when Parties AGREE to all Terms: (1) voluntary separation, which is an agreement between the parties that does not require court approval; and (2) court-ordered separation, which requires a judge to approve the terms of the separation agreement. Both types of legal separation can provide the same rights and obligations as a divorce, such as child support, spousal maintenance, and division of property.
