Default divorces are prevalent in Arizona. For a variety of reasons, one party may refrain from acting upon the other filing for a divorce. If this should happen, one party could move for a default hearing. If all proper paperwork is brought to the hearing, and the motion is granted, then the divorce process moves on via paperwork. Once the court reviews all documents, the default divorce is ordered and the final decree is mailed to both parties.
