Arizona divorce law was founded on the principal of “community property.” This means that anything and everything acquired during a marriage, including antiques, paintings and jewelry will be split right down the middle in a divorce. Family businesses, as well as stock options, retirement benefits and real estate, can also be subject to property division. People with significant assets need to make sure that they understand how a divorce might affect their future finances.
