Will I need to say anything in court or can my attorney speak?

Richard B. Jacobson
Answered by attorney Richard B. Jacobson (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Richard B. Jacobson Associates, LLC
The answer depends on the issues in the divorce. In a perfectly stipulated (uncontested) divorce, you will only have to say a few words during the final hearing to the effect that you understand the marital agreement, that the marriage is irretrievably broken, and a few other simple things. Of course, if your spouse (or you) are being unconstructive, you can fight until the cows come home, and then you will have to testify at greater length. Consult your lawyer about all the details. He or she is best equipped to help you with your goals. Good Luck.

What are the fees to filling and processing a divorce all the way through and how fast does it really take?

Monica H. Donaldson Stewart
Answered by attorney Monica H. Donaldson Stewart
Divorce lawyer at Donaldson Stewart, P.C.
In Maricopa County, the court charges filing fees of $321 to the Petitioner and $256 to the Respondent. Legal fees vary depending on the attorney, the complexity of the case etc. A simple case can be completed in about 90 days, but if the parties require the court's assistance to resolve disputed issues, it can take several months or more. I recommend you consult with an attorney to discuss this matter in greater detail.

Will refinancing affect community property during a divorce?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Jessica M Cotter (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at The Law Firm of Jessica M. Cotter, P.L.L.C.
In Arizona if you refinance the house adding your wife's name to the deed, then you have essentially gifted a community interest to her. Even if you do not do that there may still be a community interest in the property based upon community funds being used to pay the mortgage or for repairs and upkeep. If you can refinance the property with your wife signing a community property disclaimer deed, the you will be in better shape, but still no guarantees. You should consult with an experienced family law or real estate lawyer in your area to discuss this issue.
