The “Divorce Step-by-Step” guide from the Superior Court of Arizona in Maricopa County provides a detailed process for filing for divorce or legal separation. It outlines steps for filing a Petition and Summons, serving the other party through various methods (e.g., acceptance, certified mail, process server, sheriff, or publication), and proceeding with either default actions or responses. The guide explains how to apply for a default judgment, prepare for court hearings, and handle cases where both parties agree, culminating in a Consent Decree. It also provides instructions for submitting necessary forms and documents, ensuring all legal requirements are met for the divorce or legal separation to be finalized.
