Petition For Dissolution Of Non Covenant Marriage Without Children {DRDA10f}

PETITION FOR DISSOLUTION OF MARRIAGE (DIVORCE) WITHOUT MINOR CHILDREN. This form is used in the Superior Court of Arizona in Maricopa County by a petitioner seeking to formally end a marriage when no minor children are involved. The form provides essential information about both spouses, including their names, addresses, dates of birth, and length of residency in Arizona. One of the key requirements for filing is that at least one spouse must have lived in Arizona for a minimum of 90 days before submitting the petition. Additionally, the petitioner must affirm that the marriage is irretrievably broken and that attempts at reconciliation through conciliation services would not be effective. The petition outlines how marital property and debts should be divided, distinguishing between community and separate assets. The petitioner can list real estate, household items, retirement funds, vehicles, and other assets, specifying how they should be awarded to each party. Similarly, any debts incurred during or before the marriage must be addressed, with the court determining responsibility for repayment. If either spouse seeks spousal maintenance (alimony), they must indicate the basis for the request, such as financial need, lack of earning ability, or sacrifices made for the other spouse’s career. The form also includes an option for restoring a previous name, should either party wish to revert to their maiden or former legal name after the divorce. Additionally, the petition allows both parties to specify how they will handle tax returns for the year of the divorce and previous years, choosing whether to file jointly or separately. If the spouses have reached a written agreement regarding the division of property and debts, as well as any spousal support arrangements, they may attach it to the petition for court approval. Finally, the document requires the petitioner to sign under oath, affirming that all information provided is accurate and truthful under penalty of perjury. Since this form does not cover issues related to child custody, child support, or parenting time, a different petition would be required if minor children were involved. www.FormsWorkflow.com
