Timeline

Consent Decree — What to Cover

For a no-children Arizona dissolution, the Consent Decree must address:

Real estate:

• Address and legal description
• Which spouse keeps it, or agreed sale terms
• Refinancing deadline and fallback
• Deed transfer (Quitclaim Deed → county Recorder's office)

Bank and investment accounts:

• Assign specific accounts or specify percentage splits

Retirement accounts:

• Name each account and plan
• Method of division (QDRO for employer plans; IRA transfer for IRAs)

Vehicles:

• Assign each vehicle; refinance any loan in keeping spouse's name

Debts:

• Assign each community debt; include indemnification clause

Spousal maintenance:

• Specified amount and duration, OR explicit written waiver

Community Property Without Dispute

If you and your spouse agree on division:

• Write it clearly in the Consent Decree
• Be specific about amounts, accounts, and deadlines
• Include an indemnification provision for assigned debts

If there is a community property dispute:

• Consider mediation before filing
• A mediator typically charges $200–$400/hour
