How Can I Get A Divorce In Arizona During A Pandemic?

With the coronavirus pandemic strike in 2020, many nonessential businesses were forced to
close while other services operate under strict covid-19 protocols. As the spread continues and
deaths increase, millions of Americans have been laid off jobs and others required to work from
home. The pandemic has had a massive blow on many marriages, with partners stressing about
finances and the strain on their marriage and most thinking about divorce. If you reside in
Arizona and wonder if you can get a family law attorney in Mesa during these trying times, the
answer is yes; you can still get your divorce.

Issues Around Divorce During A Pandemic

Many people are concerned about contracting coronavirus. Luckily you don't need to physically
meet with a family attorney, as most are willing to provide over-the-phone consultation
services. However, family law matters are complicated, and working on it virtually could take
longer than usual. Some of the problems you may encounter include:

  • Privacy from your spouse to consult your attorney
  • Custody issues
  • Moving out issues due to the eviction moratorium that halts evictions in Arizona
  • Longer divorce process due to the covid-19 regulations

How To Go About A Divorce In Arizona

Family matters may be complicated and require time in-person to understand easily. However,
if you are worried about contracting covid-19, you can hire a family lawyer willing to do a virtual
consultation. As much as it sounds convenient, it also comes with several disadvantages. Here
are steps to follow to make working with a family attorney over the phone easier:

  • Take notes of important details.
  • Get time to consult away from your child and spouse.

Filing for your case electronically can only be available depending on the jurisdiction in which
your divorce is filed. Divorce being a complicated matter, it is advisable to meet with the
attorney for a more personal feel and easy comprehension. The steps towards divorce are as
follows:

  • Filing for your case
  • Your spouse served with the petition.
  • The spouse files their response.
  • If the spouse hires an attorney, each spouse’s attorney may negotiate a divorce
    settlement agreement.
  • If an agreement is not reached, the case will proceed to trial.
  • The divorce will be granted under your requested terms if your spouse doesn't respond
    to the petition or appear at the trial.

How To Handle Court Procedures

Initially, when the coronavirus struck, courts were closed. However, in June 2020, they began to
resume but under strict covid 19 guidelines. You can still pursue your divorce case thanks to the
requirements such as:

  • Everyone in the courthouse should put on masks.
  • Only five categories of people allowed inside the court besides staff
  • You're not allowed to arrive over 30 minutes early before your hearing and must leave
    immediately after the court hearing.
