Rule 49 of the Arizona Rules of Family Law Procedure plays an important role in divorce and child custody proceedings by mandating that both parties disclose all relevant information completely and forthrightly. Parties are required to automatically exchange crucial documents and information early in the proceedings, typically within 40 days after the response to a petition is filed. This encompasses a wide range of documentation, from financial records like income statements and tax returns to personal documents that may include health records and employment details.

Family law court focuses on resolving disputes related to domestic relations. Governed by Arizona Revised Statutes (ARS) Title 25, family court court handles matters like child custody, child support, and spousal support. Its primary goal is to ensure fairness and protect the best interests of children.
