What do you do when served with divorce papers in Arizona?

What happens when you are served divorce papers in Arizona?

 

If you were served divorce papers in Arizona, you have only 20 calendar days to respond to the divorce papers. If you were served outside of Arizona, the rules are different. You will have a different time period for your response. If you live outside of Arizona, but were served with an Arizona divorce- you have only 30 days to respond to the divorce papers.

 

What happens if you don’t respond to divorce papers in Arizona?

 

If you do not respond to divorce papers, the petitioner (your soon-to-be-ex) can file a Motion for Default Judgment. This means the judge will award the petitioner whatever he or she asks for, within reason and the confines of the law, of course.
