Filing for Divorce in Mohave County

The Arizona Courts Self-Service Center provides free forms for people representing themselves. You can download dissolution packets for cases with or without children. Instructions explain each form and the steps to complete your case. This resource works well for uncontested divorces where both spouses agree.

Arizona requires at least one spouse to live in the state for 90 days before filing. Mohave County is the proper place to file if one or both of you live here. The 60-day waiting period starts when the other spouse is served with the divorce papers. Even agreed divorces must wait this period before the court can enter the final decree.

Contested divorces take longer and cost more. If you and your spouse disagree on property, custody, or support, expect the case to require multiple hearings. Complex cases benefit from having a lawyer. The Mohave County Bar Association can provide referrals if you need help finding an attorney in the area.

Fee waivers may be available if you cannot afford court costs. File a deferral application explaining your income and expenses. The judge decides whether to grant full or partial waiver. This covers filing fees but not copy fees for records you request later.
