Legal Answers
2 Questions Answered
Q. How many years of spousal maintenance am I allowed to ask for?
A: The statutory guidelines in Arizona relevant to the amount of time spousal maintenance is paid are at best very general in nature; they do not provide any specific calculation or formula for determining this time period. Therefore, the duration for making spousal maintenance payments is specific to the fact situation of the divorce or legal separation involved such that each case is different.
Q. Where can I get the the legal forms to file for a divorce?
A: Most courts where family law matters are heard have forms that can be downloaded for use by the general public. Example below for the Pima County Superior Court in Tucson, Arizona where family law matters are heard:
