How to use this resource

Keep this worksheet private. Use short labels rather than sensitive details, and do not put confidential communications, Social Security numbers, account numbers, children's private information, abuse details, evidence, passwords, or strategy in a marketplace request. Record the Arizona county, any existing case or order information, questions, and document categories for a private consultation. Use the official Arizona links only as starting points; ask an Arizona attorney or appropriate court staff to confirm the court, forms, process, deadlines, fees, service, and next steps for your situation.

Open the PDF in a form-capable viewer, save a copy, then fill it in. Reopen your saved copy to check your answers. You can also print the blank pages and write by hand. Your answers are not submitted to PickYourPro.ai.

Divorce Attorney preparation checklist

• Write a private one-paragraph overview of the situation, the decision or help you want, and your three priorities.
• Record the Arizona county, any existing case number or orders, and important dates for private attorney review without deciding legal significance.
• Group records by category: identity and relationship, court papers, children, property, debts, income, insurance, communications, and other materials.
• List immediate practical concerns, safety or accessibility needs, communication preferences, and people or professionals already involved.
• Open Arizona's official Self-Service Center and record only relevant page titles or links under Topics, Forms & Instructions, Resources, or Locations; do not choose or interpret forms here.
• Use the official Arizona Courts Locator to find the county link shown, then ask an attorney or court staff to confirm the correct court and process.
• Prepare questions about experience, conflicts, representation scope, team, communication, secure document exchange, timing, fees, expenses, and written terms.
• Give each attorney the same high-level, privacy-safe consultation brief and compare the same requested representation scope.

Questions to ask an Arizona divorce attorney

1. Based on a private review of my facts, what issues should be identified first, and what information do you need before advising me?
2. What work would your representation include or exclude, and who on your team would handle each part?
3. How should I securely provide court papers, financial records, communications, and other sensitive information?
4. How do you communicate, handle urgent questions, coordinate with staff or other professionals, and document decisions?
5. Which Arizona court or official information should I verify, and how will you confirm current forms, service, timing, fees, and procedure?
6. What is the complete fee structure, which expenses or assumptions could change it, and what will the written engagement agreement cover?

Write down the answers and any exclusions. If two proposals describe different work, clarify the difference before comparing their totals. Leave unanswered points blank until the professional confirms them.
