Marital Property Division
As Arizona divorce team, we can assist you with dividing your marital property. Arizona follows community property laws, meaning any assets or debts acquired during the marriage—whether in or out of state—are generally subject to equal division through a property settlement agreement.
Dividing Assets and Debts in Property Settlement
- Each parent's income
- Any spousal maintenance (alimony) paid by either parent
- Medical and health care costs for the child
- Child care or daycare expenses
- Amount of parenting time allocated to each parent
While there may occasionally be a few additional calculations involved, these are the primary factors used to determine child support. Once the key figures are entered, we can provide a fairly accurate estimate of the expected child support amount.
Disagreements Over Income Must Be Proven in Court
Keep in mind—third-party creditors are not bound by your property settlement agreement.
Even if one spouse agrees to take responsibility for certain debts, such as specific credit cards, the creditor can still pursue both parties for payment if those debts were incurred during the marriage. A property settlement agreement does not limit a creditor’s rights.
