Petitioner

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.

Unfortunately, sometimes pregnancy and divorce may go hand in hand, and an expectant mother may find herself seeking a divorce from her spouse. Pregnancy is a challenging situation that can add stress to any relationship, even the strong ones.
