✔️ Communicate early with your co-parent and provide full travel details

How long does an Arizona divorce take? ⏳📆
It depends. Every divorce is unique, and the timeline can vary based on several factors.
✔️ Residency requirement: At least one spouse must have lived in the state for at least 90 days before filing.

✔️ Mandatory waiting period: Arizona law requires a 60-day “cooling-off” period.

✔️ Serving the spouse: The divorce petition must be formally served, and the other spouse typically has 20 days to respond (30 days if served out of state).

✔️ Uncontested vs. contested: When both parties agree on key issues (an uncontested divorce), the process is typically faster and can often be resolved within a few months. If there are disagreements (a contested divorce), the timeline is usually longer and may involve negotiation, mediation, or court proceedings.
