Arizona Divorce and Dissolution Resources
FamilyCourtHelp is an independent educational platform. It is not a court, law firm, government agency, or government partner. We organize and link to publicly available resources published by courts and government agencies. Official requirements may change. Always confirm current requirements with the applicable court or clerk.
A Arizona divorce is filed in the Superior Court, usually in the Family Court Department, and the paperwork you start with depends on whether you have minor children together and whether there is property to divide.
Arizona's core family statutes live in the Arizona Revised Statutes Title 25 - Marital and Domestic Relations. In Arizona, online filing is only partly open to a parent without a lawyer, so check what applies to your court before you count on it. The official sources below cover the petition documents, the statewide forms collection, and the court's own filing instructions.

Frequently asked questions
Where do I file for divorce in Arizona?
In the Superior Court, usually in the Family Court Department that serves the county where you live. In Arizona, online filing is only partly open to a parent without a lawyer, so check what applies to your court before you count on it.
How much does it cost to file a family case in Arizona?
Dissolution filing fee: ~$349. If you cannot afford the fee, ask the clerk about a fee waiver or indigency application; every state has a process for requesting one.
Do I need a lawyer to file a Arizona divorce?
No. Arizona publishes its family law forms for people representing themselves, and the self-help resources on this page exist for exactly that. A consultation still makes sense when there is a business, a pension, or a serious safety issue in the case.
