Answer:

You may want to review the articles on this site about divorce in Arizona, specifically the article titled, "Divorce in Arizona." That article states:

When can I start a divorce case?
Before starting the court case, 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. Unless Arizona was the last state where you lived together with your spouse, issues regarding custody of children may require a longer residence time in order to deal with those issues.

To find out how the laws would apply in your specific situation, you may want to contact an attorney.
