As experienced Jensen Family Law divorce lawyers in Mesa AZ, we help make the divorce process as quick and painless as possible. Our goal is to not create a war between both parties, but we understand that at times an opposing party may be confrontational, hiding assets, abusive, and otherwise unwilling to accommodate an amicable divorce. We have an expert team of divorce lawyers near me. We also have a great team of female divorce attorneys in AZ.

There are three major issues that need to be resolved in a typical Mesa AZ divorce matter;

  1. The dissolution of the marriage.
  2. Child custody/child support issues.
  3. Division of the community property and debt.

Mesa AZ judges do not need to make a finding as to why one or both parties want to be divorced. It’s enough for one party to indicate their desire to be divorced and that the marriage is irretrievably broken. Under Mesa AZ law, the reason for divorce is irrelevant. Even though a specific reason for divorce is not mandatory, there are some specific requirements that must be met before a judge can grant a divorce.

These requirements include the following:

  • At least one of the parties must have lived in Arizona for at least 90 days prior to the date the divorce action is commenced.  Military personnel who are stationed in Arizona can commence a dissolution matter after they have been stationed in the state for at least 90 days.
  • The parties must be made aware of Conciliation Services; a free service offered through the courts to try to help parties reconcile their marriage.  The court must further find that the parties do not believe such services would help save the marriage.
  • That the marriage is irretrievably broken.
  • The court must consider any custody, child support, and spousal maintenance issues that may be present in the case.

If the court does not find that each of these requirements has been met, the court cannot take jurisdiction over the matter and the divorce cannot be granted.

Divorce proceedings are understandably emotional and painful for both parties and their children. If you find yourself facing a divorce, it’s important that you understand your legal rights and the divorce process.
