Under A.R.S. 25-329, a divorce cannot be finalized until 60 days after a party has been served with a petition for divorce. We advise clients that the soonest a case can be resolved is 90-120 days after the Petition for Dissolution has been filed. This is called the “waiting period.”
Courts want to be sure that the parties really want to get divorced. The 60 days is a breathing period for parties to really consider if divorce is the right option for them.
