Do I have to prove my spouse did something wrong?

No. Arizona is a "no-fault" state. You only need to say the marriage is not working for you anymore.

What is "Legal Decision-Making"?

This is the new term for "legal custody." It’s about who makes important decisions, such as healthcare, education, and religious upbringing.

Can I keep my inheritance?

Usually, yes. Things you got as a gift or inheritance are often "separate property," even if you were married at the time.

What if I’m scared for my safety?

Your safety is the priority. We can help you file for an Order of Protection immediately to keep you and your kids legally protected.

What is the difference between divorce and legal separation?

In a legal separation, the court divides your property and sets up custody, but you are still technically married. You cannot marry someone else. People often choose this for religious reasons or to keep family health insurance. As divorce attorneys in Phoenix, we help you decide which path makes the most sense for your specific needs.

Will I have to pay "Alimony" (Spousal Maintenance)?

In Arizona, this is called spousal maintenance. It isn't automatic. The court looks at the length of the marriage, each person’s ability to work, and the standard of living you had during the marriage. We help by advocating for a fair amount that ensures both sides can stay on their feet.

How much child support will I pay or receive?

Arizona uses a specific formula called the "Arizona Child Support Guidelines." It looks at both parents' incomes, the cost of health insurance, childcare expenses, and how much "parenting time" (visitation) each person has. Kedia Law helps by running these numbers for you so you know exactly what to expect.

Making the decision to end a marriage raises a lot of questions. You might be worrying about your kids, your home, your assets, and how everything will work out. You’re not alone. Here in Maricopa County, we see it every day. The local divorce rate is higher than the national average, but knowing others are in your shoes doesn’t make the process any easier. But it does show that you have an experienced local divorce attorney in Phoenix to help.

At Kedia Law, we get it. The law is cold and complicated, and yet divorce is one of the most emotional and personal things you can go through. As native divorce attorneys in Phoenix, we’re here to help our neighbors secure their rights, protect their assets and kids, and move through their divorce smoothly with as little court involvement as possible.

Get Your Divorce Right to Protect Your Future

It’s tempting to want to try to handle everything yourself to save money, especially with the higher cost of living in Phoenix lately. But a simple mistake can haunt you for years. Without a divorce attorney in Phoenix on your side, you’re facing serious, nearly permanent risks:

Losing Your Fair Share: Arizona is a community property state. Generally, everything earned or bought during the marriage is split 50/50. Without legal help, you might accidentally walk away with much less than you deserve.
Custody Confusion: A vague parenting plan leads to future fights or problems. We help you create a schedule that actually works for your family; one that’s fair and benefits your kids.
The "60-Day Trap": Arizona has a mandatory 60-day waiting period. If you don't file the right paperwork during this time, your case can get stuck in the Maricopa County court system for months.

At Kedia Law, we proudly use a sharp eye for business (thanks to our leading attorney, Pooja, with an economics degree) with a heart for helping people. We make sure you aren't just "getting by" with the courts—we make sure your ideal situation in your divorce turns into your reality.

The Divorce Process with Kedia Law

The Residency Rule: To file for a divorce in Phoenix, you or your spouse must have lived in Arizona for at least 90 days. We help by verifying your eligibility and ensuring Maricopa County has the legal authority to hear your case, so your filing isn't rejected.
The Petition: We file a "Petition for Dissolution of Marriage." This is just a formal way of telling the court the marriage is no longer working. Our attorney will handle all the paperwork and formal "service" to your spouse, taking the direct confrontation off your plate.
The Waiting Period: Once your spouse is served, there is a 60-day "cooling off" period. No divorce can be finalized before this clock runs out. Kedia Law uses this time to gather financial records and draft your parenting plan (if you have kids), ensuring we don't waste a single day of that mandatory wait.
Community Property: This is a big one. Generally, anything you earned or bought during the marriage belongs to both of you 50/50. We help by accurately valuing your assets (from your home to even your debt), so you don't accidentally walk away with an unfair deal.
The Finish Line: If you both agree on the terms, we sign a "Consent Decree," and you're done. We help by negotiating the best possible terms for you, and if an agreement isn't possible, we are ready to stand up for you in front of a judge to relentlessly protect you until we reach a solid outcome.

We don't just look at what’s fair today; we look at what will help you be stable five or ten years from now.
