Arizona courts divide marital property equally, but there are rare circumstances where they will deviate, including cases of marital waste or reckless borrowing that did not benefit the marriage.
In those situations, the court can actually penalize the party responsible by awarding a larger portion of those assets or debts to the other spouse.

It is possible for one parent to receive sole legal decision-making in Arizona, but it requires showing the court that the other parent has genuine parental fitness issues.
This is a high bar to meet, and Arizona courts start from a position that joint legal decision-making is in the best interest of the child.
