Frequently Asked Questions

  • If we get divorced, will we each get half of the community property?

    Arizona law requires the Family Court judge to divide community property “equitably” between the parties, but this does not mean the division will be equal.  One spouse can be awarded certain assets and the other spouse awarded different assets.  Nonetheless, the division must be substantially equal in the absence of a compelling reason to the contrary.

  • My spouse had an affair. Will I get a better settlement in my divorce case?

    Sorry, no.  Arizona is a no-fault state.  Except in the fairly rare case of a covenant marriage, marital misconduct is irrelevant in a divorce case.

  • If we are awarded joint custody of our child, will neither of us be required to pay child support?

    No.  The court will order the payment of child support in joint custody cases.  However, the amount of child support tends to be less in a joint custody case, as time spent with the children is shared by each parent.

  • My spouse is not following the rules of the joint custody order. Is there anything I can do about it?

    Six months after the entry of a joint custody order, a parent may petition the court for modification of the order based on the failure of the other parent to comply.

  • Is spousal maintenance taxable?

    In most cases, for orders up till December 31, 2017, the party paying spousal maintenance was able to deduct the amount paid on his or her income tax return, and the party receiving spousal maintenance was required to report the payments as income.  An order proclaimed before the end of 2017 remains in effect throughout the term of the spousal maintenance unless it is modified.  For orders as of January 1, 2018, however, those rules do not apply.  Generally speaking, the payer may not deduct the amount of spousal maintenance paid, and the spouse receiving the payments is not required to report the payments as income.
