Legal Separation in Arizona: A Strategic Alternative to Divorce

Stay Married. Protect Your Interests.

Legal separation isn’t just a halfway step to divorce—it’s a strategic legal decision. In Arizona, legal separation offers many of the same protections as divorce—division of assets, spousal maintenance, parenting plans, and child support—while keeping the marriage legally intact. That means neither spouse can remarry unless a full divorce is pursued later.

Why choose legal separation? For some, it’s a matter of religious beliefs. For others, it’s financial prudence—separating to shield against a spouse’s growing debts or to maintain shared benefits like health insurance. Whatever your reason, legal separation provides clarity and control in uncertain times.
