Legal Question in Family Law in Arizona

There is no length of time that you can be separated in order to "void" a marriage - if the marriage was validly entered into, then it can only be dissolved by divorce. If the marriage was invalid to start with, then annulment might be an option. The length of time married or length of time separated are not relevant.

There is no period of separation where a marriage would become void. You must file a Petition for Dissolution in order to terminate the marriage.

We can certainly help you consider and then pursue your options for dissolution or legal separation.

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 Gina or my paralegal Jennifer to schedule your free 1/2 hour consultation.
