- Category: Divorce
- Date:
- State: Arizona
Answer:
In Arizona, there is a sixty-day waiting period before an uncontested divorce can be finalized. This period starts from the date the Respondent is served or accepts service of process. The same sixty-day waiting period applies to legal separations as well. If a separation agreement is included in the divorce decree, it becomes enforceable through the court's contempt powers. However, if it's not included, it remains a private contract between the parties. For reference, see Arizona statute 25-329 regarding waiting periods.This content is for informational purposes only and is not legal advice.
