How to use these Arizona divorce checklists

Use this page as a starting point before you gather forms or file with the court. Each checklist is organized around a real case type, so the steps can account for children, property, service, default timelines, military issues, business ownership, and other facts that change what Arizona courts may require.

Choose the closest match

Start with the checklist that describes your current divorce situation, not the outcome you hope to reach later. If more than one applies, choose the one with the most specific court requirements.

Gather before filing

Review the documents, deadlines, and service steps before you begin. This helps you spot missing financial records, parenting details, county requirements, and signatures before a filing delay costs time.

Use the county court rules

Arizona divorce forms are statewide in many areas, but filing procedures, fees, copies, and submission options can vary by county. Check your county court instructions before you submit paperwork.
