如果我没有结婚，我可以在亚利桑那州立离婚吗？
previously, under the 1996 defense of marriage act, states were not required to recognize same-sex marriages from other states. however, since the supreme court’s landmark decision in obergefell v. hodges, states are required to recognize valid same-sex marriage performed in other states. in order to file for a divorce in arizona under a.r.s. § 25-312, one of the married parties must have made arizona their home state (domiciled) for at least ninety days prior to filing. however, if there are children involved in the marriage, then the children must have lived in arizona for six months for this to be considered their home state.
yes. same-sex couples receive the same protection as opposite-sex couples and can be entitled to awards of both spousal maintenance and child support. in determining spousal maintenance arizona court will look at the factors under a.r.s. § 25-319 to see if a party is entitled to spousal maintenance. if a party is entitled to spousal maintenance they will determine how much and for how long should they receive spousal maintenance. spousal maintenance is unpredictable and at the court’s discretion. child support is much more predictable and is determined by inserting each parties salaries, parenting time, and other child expenses into a child support calculator to determine who will pay child support and how much child support will be paid.
