How Arizona divides property
Arizona is a community property state. What you acquired during the marriage, and the debts taken on, are generally divided equally, while separate property stays with its owner.
The family home
Selling, refinancing, or one spouse keeping the house, and what that means for the rest of the split.
Retirement accounts
Dividing 401(k)s, pensions, and IRAs with the right orders to avoid taxes and penalties.
Debt
Community debts like mortgages, car loans, and credit cards, and who is responsible for each.
Separate property
Premarital assets, gifts, and inheritances, and any community interest from effort or money put into them.
Vehicles and personal property
Cars, furnishings, and valuables, without fighting over every item.
Tax consequences
Making sure an even-looking split doesn’t leave you with the tax bill.

Property & asset division questions
Every case is different. These are the questions Prescott clients ask most in the first call.
Who gets the house in an Arizona divorce?
It depends on equity, income, the parenting plan, and the rest of the division. Many couples sell; sometimes one spouse buys out the other’s community share.
Is an inheritance community property?
An inheritance is separate property, but it can pick up a community interest if it was mixed with community funds or improved with community effort.
Are debts divided too?
Yes. Debts taken on during the marriage are generally community debts and are divided along with assets.
When does the community end?
Generally on the date the divorce petition is served, as long as it leads to a decree. Property acquired after that is usually separate.
