I never changed my last name to my married name can that be an issue??

Answer: To file a divorce in Arizona (dissolution of marriage), either the husband or wife must have lived in Arizona for at least 90 days or have been a member of the armed forces stationed in Arizona for at least 90 days. You may need to look to the California laws if you want to file there or if you think that your husband may file there. Family Law tends to be a complex issue, so a lot of your questions require additional information. You may want to speak with an attorney to find out specific legal advice for your situation.
