For this reason, a couple should aim to resolve issues as early on in the divorce process as possible. Mediation can help.  Mediation is a process in which couples meet to discuss issues with the guidance of a third-party mediator. The mediator is impartial and helps to facilitate the conversation with the goal of getting the parties to arrive at a compromise regarding disputed issues. Because mediation can be effective, often saving individuals a great deal of time and money, some courts will offer free mediation services. Mediation is especially useful in cases involving children, as litigation can be detrimental to young persons.","@id":"https:\/\/www.phoenixlawteam.com\/blog\/how-long-will-it-take-to-finalize-my-divorce-in-arizona\/#Answer2"},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","name":"How Long Will It Take to Finalize My Divorce in Arizona?","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"Is Arizona a No-Fault Divorce State?","acceptedAnswer":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.phoenixlawteam.com\/blog\/how-long-will-it-take-to-finalize-my-divorce-in-arizona\/#Answer"},"@id":"https:\/\/www.phoenixlawteam.com\/blog\/how-long-will-it-take-to-finalize-my-divorce-in-arizona\/#Question"},{"@type":"Question","name":"How Long Do You Have to Wait to File for Divorce in Arizona?","acceptedAnswer":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.phoenixlawteam.com\/blog\/how-long-will-it-take-to-finalize-my-divorce-in-arizona\/#Answer1"},"@id":"https:\/\/www.phoenixlawteam.com\/blog\/how-long-will-it-take-to-finalize-my-divorce-in-arizona\/#Question1"},{"@type":"Question","name":"Can Mediation Help to Expedite the Divorce Process?","acceptedAnswer":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.phoenixlawteam.com\/blog\/how-long-will-it-take-to-finalize-my-divorce-in-arizona\/#Answer2"},"@id":"https:\/\/www.phoenixlawteam.com\/blog\/how-long-will-it-take-to-finalize-my-divorce-in-arizona\/#Question2"}],"@id":"https:\/\/www.phoenixlawteam.com\/blog\/how-long-will-it-take-to-finalize-my-divorce-in-arizona\/#FAQPage"}],{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Blog","item":"https:\/\/www.phoenixlawteam.com\/blog\/#breadcrumbitem"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"How Long Will It Take to Finalize My Divorce in Arizona?","item":"https:\/\/www.phoenixlawteam.com\/blog\/how-long-will-it-take-to-finalize-my-divorce-in-arizona\/#breadcrumbitem"}]}]
