REPRESENTING YOURSELF IN FAMILY COURT
This brief guide provides some very basic information to help you understand the proceedings.
It does not tell you everything about family law or family court, and it is no substitute for understanding
Title 25 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, the Arizona Rules of Family Law Procedure, and the Arizona
Rules of Evidence. For more information, you should go to the Pinal County Superior Court website
(www.pinalcountyaz.gov/Departments/JudicialBranch/) or consult a lawyer.
Proceedings in Family Court
Proceedings in Family Court follow the
Arizona Rules of Family Law Procedure
.
In a divorce or paternity case, you may be referred to an Expedited Differentiated Case
Management Conference, Mediation, Family Assessment, or a Settlement Conference (sometimes called
an Alternative Dispute Resolution or “ADR”). These proceedings are designed to help the parties reach
agreement on all or some of their disputes. They generally are not conducted by your assigned Judge.
You may also have to appear before the Judge for a pretrial hearing. The most common pretrial
hearings are (1) a
Resolution Management Conference
, which helps the Judge manage the case by,
among other things, setting deadlines and a trial date; and (2) a
Temporary Orders Hearing
, at which
the Judge may issue temporary orders to govern the case until the trial.
If you do not reach a settlement of all issues, there will be a
trial
. This is the single hearing
where the Judge will hear your evidence and make final decisions on disputed issues.
Disclosure and Discovery
To help parties prepare for the trial, the Arizona Rules of Family Law Procedure have
disclosure
and
discovery
requirements.
Disclosure
requirements are in Rule 49. Each party must voluntarily provide certain
information to the other party. You have an obligation to disclose such information to the other party,
and you have a right to insist that the other party disclose such information to you. Failure to disclose
as required may result in sanctions, including being barred from offering evidence that was not timely
disclosed.
If you need information that is not voluntarily disclosed, you may engage in
discovery
, such as
requesting documents from a party or subpoenaing documents from non-parties. Rules 51 through 65
of the Arizona Rules of Family Court discuss the requirements for discovery.
What is a Trial?
A trial is the time for you and for the other party to present
evidence
on disputed issues.
General Issues If Children Are Involved in Your Case:
●
Legal decision-making (authority over major matters concerning the children).
Page 2 of 3
DO_DWC_COSCPinal_02.27.18
Use only most current version
●
Parenting time (what time each parent will spend with the children).
●
Child support.
Additional Issues If Your Case Involves a Divorce:
●
Spousal maintenance.
●
Division of community property and allocation of debts.
The Judge will decide these issues based on the evidence presented during the trial.
Only
evidence you bring to the trial will be considered
.
After the trial, the Judge may issue a ruling in open court or may take the case “under
advisement,” which means that the Judge will issue a written ruling at a later time.
The judge’s ruling may be a signed
decree
or
judgment
, which officially concludes the case. If
the judge chooses, the judge may decide disputed issues and then require one or both of the parties to
submit a decree for the judge’s signature.
Preparing for The Trial
When preparing for the trial, it is critical that you read the judge’s minute entries carefully. The
minute entries typically contain the Judge’s requirements for the trial. These requirements may
include:
(1) Submitting a
pretrial statement
that describes the issues in the case and lists your witnesses and
exhibits; and (2) Giving copies of your
exhibits
to the Clerk and to the other party before the trial.
Many Judges impose
time limits
at the trial. It is your responsibility to make sure you present
all your evidence in the time allotted.
What Happens During the Trial?
The main thing that happens during the trial is the presentation of
evidence
. The Judge will
make decision based on the evidence presented during the trial. Evidence is generally of two kinds: (1)
Witness testimony and (2) Documents.
When you call a
witness
to testify, you must ask the witness questions. A witness may only
answer questions that are asked. When the party who called a witness is done with questioning, the
other party may “cross-examine” the witness by asking additional questions.
A party may testify as a witness on his or her own behalf. However, while a witness is on the
stand, the parties may only ask questions. Arguing with a witness or commenting on the answers is not
allowed.
Documents
may be evidence at the trial, but you must follow the proper procedure. Before the
trial (usually 5 days before), you must give documents that you want to use to the Clerk of the Court to
Page 3 of 3
DO_DWC_COSCPinal_02.27.18
Use only most current version
be “marked” with an exhibit number. However, marking an exhibit does not mean it is evidence. Rather,
during the trial, you must “offer” the exhibit by asking the judge to admit it into evidence. The judge
then decides whether to admit the evidence. The judge will consider only evidence that is
admitted
.
Proper Court Behavior
Although family cases are often emotional, it is important that everyone act in an orderly and
respectful way in court. Here are some “Do’s and Don’ts:”
●
Do dress appropriately. Don’t wear hats, sunglasses, tank tops, shorts, or flip-flops.
●
Do wait your turn to speak. Don’t interrupt while someone else is talking.
●
Do treat others with respect. Don’t curse, make faces, or engage in confrontational behavior.
●
Do be honest and candid with the judge.
●
Do make sure that friends and family who accompany you sit quietly. They are not allowed to
speak unless called as a witness, and then only when they are testifying.
For Additional Information
This guide presents very basic information. For additional information, read the applicable
statutes and rules, visit the Pinal County Superior Court website
(www.pinalcountyaz.gov/Departments/Judicial Branch) and if necessary, consult a lawyer.
