Technically, the Court is only supposed to look at the duration of the actual marriage (amongst other factors). However, there is of course a chance that the Court being made aware of these facts may allow them to influence some aspect of the decision.
Also, Arizona does recognize "quasi community property rights" in some situations like you've described.
We can certainly help you consider and then pursue your options.
One of our attorneys can explain the issues and procedures better in person. As you can imagine, there is too much to cover via email. We offer free 1/2 hour consultations, in which we can discuss your matter in detail.
Please call us directly to discuss the specifics of your matter, or contact my assistant Gloria or my paralegal Jennifer to schedule your free 1/2 hour consultation
