How do you know when a Formal Probate is required? The Pima County Superior Court of Arizona requires that a Formal Probate is filed anytime that there is a Will and the original of the Will cannot be located. A hearing is set in which all interested parties attend and the Court determines whether the copy can be admitted into probate.  Another scenario that may warrant a Formal Probate is when there is no Will but not every heir signs a document waiving the bond requirement. The Applicant and all interested parties attend the hearing to determine whether the Applicant should be appointed without bond.  The probate process is a little complicated.  Our Arizona Paralegals in Tucson know all of the Arizona Rules of Probate Procedure and the local rules for all Arizona Counties.  We can prepare your probate case, file and track deadlines, notify all interested parties and creditors so that you don’t have to worry about the details.

Tucson Divorces are Faster and Cheaper!

It’s amazing but true! Getting a Divorce in Tucson is actually faster than getting a Divorce in Phoenix? How is that possible? Well in Arizona there is a statutory waiting period of 61 days however, the local rules of procedure for Divorce in Tucson, Pima County, are such that I can submit your Decree for Divorce to the Judge along with your Motion and Affidavit for Judgment by Default without a Hearing on the 61st day and on average the Judge signs it in less than one week!

Compare that to Phoenix, Arizona, Maricopa County! If I submit the Decree and Motion and Affidavit for Judgment by Default without a Hearing on the 61st day in Phoenix, your Decree goes to a separate department called the Family Court Administrator who sits on your Decree for a minimum of 6 weeks!

So many Mothers and Fathers out there are reluctant to to ask for child support or too eager to depend on it.  Why is that? It’s generally not about the child and more so about the parents.  Depending on whom has custody either a mother or a father may say that they won’t ask the other parent for child support because they can support the child on their own; they make enough money so they don’t need any help.  On the other hand they will say that they are going to take the other parent for all they have and ask for as much child

According to answers.com, the definition of a no-fault divorce is “a divorce which is granted without the necessity of finding a spouse to have been guilty of some marital misconduct.” Before no-fault divorce statutes were established, one had to prove that specific marital misconduct, such as infidelity or abandonment, had taken place, and there had to be an innocent spouse and a guilty, or defendant spouse.

Fortunately, Arizona, along with most other states, has adopted these no-fault divorce statutes, which means any husband or wife can get divorced without the other agreeing that the marriage should be over, and without naming a guilty party or specified marital offense. For a divorce to be granted, all that needs to be shown is that an irretrievable breakdown of the marriage has occurred. To do this, either the husband or wife can by petition under oath, state that the marriage is irretrievably broken. Alternatively, one of them can state this and if the other party does not deny it, the court will make a finding as to whether or not the marriage is in fact irretrievably broken.

If you and your spouse agree to the division of assets and debts in your uncontested divorce then you may be able to avoid a court appearance. In Arizona you can avoid a court appearance if both parties agree to signing a Consent Decree of Dissolution. An uncontested divorce can generally be completed in approximately 61 days or more. Another option to avoiding a court appearance in your uncontested divorce is to have AZ Statewide Paralegal prepare a Motion for Judgment by Default without a Hearing. If you are filing an uncontested divorce without children and there is no request for spousal maintenance and service of process was not by publication then it may be possible to avoid a court appearance. However, anything can happen. A judge can always order a hearing if the judge deems a hearing is necessary.
