Property Division in Arizona

Arizona is a community property state. This means that most assets and debts acquired during the marriage are considered jointly owned and are typically divided 50/50. Property owned before the marriage, gifts, and inheritances are generally considered separate property — but commingling can change that. Consult an attorney if you have complex assets.
