Legal Question in Family Law in Arizona

Your comments show that you are physically separated. "Legal Separation" is different. Some couples choose not to get divorced for personal or religious reasons. Under Arizona law, the procedures to obtain a Legal Separation are similar to a divorce and can take the same amount of time; however at the end of dividing up assets, debts, property, and any issue with children, the parties are still a married couple. You don't have to get a legal separation, but there might be some advantages, especially in separating yourself from new debts or financial obligations of the other party. An attorney will have questions about these details, especially whether Arizona or Indiana is the more appropriate court.

You didn't mention whether there are children of the marriage under the age of 18. If there are children, a whole additional layer of issues come into play.

From the zip code you provided, it looks like you are living in Cochise County. I practice in Cochise County. We can schedule a phone consultation, call to set one up. (520) 507-2067. My first half hour consultation is free. I charge $200/hour. I have, also, assisted parties with preparing documents so they can file on their own with the Court.

Good Luck

As the lawyer above stated, you may be physically separate but you are not legally separated.
