Re: Adultery/Order of Protection/Suponeas?

I'm not sure I can help you, because I may have been one of the presenters at the class. Sorry to have overwhelmed you.

You truly have asked far more questions than I can answer in great detail by e'mail.

1. If your spouse has an attorney, you can serve the attorney with the Order for Hearing.

2. Yes, you are still married. Judge meant how long have you been married prior to filing.

3. Adultery is not something that the Court is going to care about, because Arizona is a "no-fault" state.

Why don't you call me, and we can talk about scheduling a 1 or 2 hour consultation to get you ready for your upcoming hearings.
