I bought a do it yourself divorce kit. In it it says I would have had to be married 5 years or more to use the kit, It's been 2.5. Why?

I actually can't answer that question, because there's nothing in Arizona law that requires that you be married a certain amount of time before filing for divorce. Since I can't vouch for the quality of the documents, I recommend you obtain your forms from the "e-court" service available on the website of the Superior Court of Arizona: www.superiorcourt.maricopa.gov, self-service center, forms, family law forms. The process may be very similar to what you have with the do-it-yourself kit, the court's forms/instructions are probably more reliable.

That makes no sense. We can certainly assist you in completing the documents, or even handle the process ourself for a flat fee.

We also can structure assistance to help you represent yourself if your prefer.
