Common Divorce Questions

How is property divided in an Arizona divorce?

Arizona is a community property state. This means that assets and debts acquired during the marriage are typically divided equally between spouses, regardless of who earned the income or whose name is on the title.

What factors influence child custody decisions?

The court makes custody decisions based on the 'best interests of the child.' Factors include the child's relationship with each parent, their adjustment to home and school, and the mental and physical health of all individuals involved.

How long does the divorce process take in Arizona?

In Arizona, there is a mandatory 60-day waiting period from the date the petition is served before a divorce can be finalized. The total time depends on the complexity of the case and the level of agreement between spouses.

Will I receive or have to pay spousal maintenance?

Spousal maintenance is not automatic. The court considers factors like the length of the marriage, each spouse's earning capacity, the standard of living during the marriage, and whether one spouse contributed to the other's education.

Do I need an attorney for a 'simple' divorce?

Even in amicable situations, legal errors can have long-lasting financial and personal consequences. Professional representation ensures your rights are protected and all legal requirements are properly met.

Five Stars

I can’t thank Mr. Benke enough for the incredible support and representation he provided during one of the most difficult times in my life. Thanks to his dedication and effort, I was granted sole custody of my son, and supervised visitation was rightly put in place for his father.

From the very beginning, he was kind, compassionate, and truly understanding of the emotional weight this was to me. He took the time to listen, answer my questions, and guide me through every step of the process with clarity and genuine care. His calm presence and thoughtful approach made me feel supported, even when things felt overwhelming.

If you're facing a tough custody situation and want someone who will fight for you while also treating you with empathy and compassion, I wholeheartedly recommend Joseph Benke and his team. They made an incredibly difficult journey feel a little more manageable, and I will forever be grateful for that.

What Our Clients Say

I’ve been given the opportunity to work with Mr. Benke on a family law case that I had been dealing with since 2023.

Since my initial contact with his office I was treated with nothing but compassion and clear communication.

Mr. Benke did a great job at helping me understand the court process thoroughly and what to expect.

I appreciate Mr. Benke taking the time to listen to my concerns and truly hear me to represent me in the best way possible which at last ruled in the most humble manner to ultimately comply with regulations.

I would recommend this firm to anyone seeking legal counsel. As their motto says “A law firm that cares”.

Five Stars

Joseph was amazing and handling my divorce. He drove down from Phoenix all the way to Tucson. He came in in the middle of it and kept his composure after I had to fire my first lawyer. I will 100% recommend him and use them again if I ever need to, hopefully not.
