Facing a divorce is never an easy prospect, but when divorcing spouses have one or more serious disputes over the terms of their Arizona divorce, a difficult process quickly becomes contentious, often involving months of negotiations and preparation for court, and then days of heated battle before a judge, with the details of the divorce becoming a matter of public record.
The divorce process is challenging for all spouses, but when one spouse has a mental health issue, it may significantly impact all aspects of the divorce, including child custody, the division of marital assets, and alimony.
No couple starts out planning to end their marriage in divorce, but sometimes a marriage runs its course, and spouses decide to part ways. Even under the best circumstances, when spouses part civilly, if not amicably, divorce in Arizona is an emotionally fraught and legally challenging process.
No one anticipates their walk down the aisle ending in divorce court rather than “happily ever after,” and few people put money aside to fund a divorce just in case. Regardless of the good intentions when exchanging wedding vows, a significant number of marriages end in divorce in Arizona and elsewhere.
