Separate property is retained by the owner of the property.
Any property acquired by either spouse outside of Arizona shall be deemed to be community property if the property would have been community property if acquired within Arizona. Marital misconduct is not considered in the division. The court may place a lien upon a spouse's separate property in order to secure payment of child support or spousal support. Although major reforms in the laws over the last few years have given new pension protections to spouses, it is still difficult, in many cases, to get information about all the new rules and regulations, and to learn what you have to do to get your share of a pension. This book has been written to help you educate yourself about the laws and how they affect you.
