Notice Regarding Creditors

NOTICE REGARDING CREDITORS. This form is used in divorce or legal separation cases filed in the Superior Court of Arizona in Mohave County. It is required by Arizona law (A.R.S. § 25-318(H)) and must be served by the petitioner (the person filing for divorce or legal separation) on the respondent (the other party). The purpose of the form is to inform both spouses that they remain jointly responsible for community debts incurred during the marriage, regardless of the court’s final orders assigning those debts to one spouse or the other. Even after divorce or legal separation, creditors may still pursue either or both spouses for payment unless the debt was individually incurred or specifically resolved by the creditor. The notice encourages parties to contact their creditors directly to understand how their separation or divorce will affect their obligations and recommends requesting a credit report or contacting creditors for a full list of debts. The form also includes a sample letter that a spouse can send to creditors to request account information. This letter helps parties identify the status and balance of debts and determine who is liable. It is important to note that the sample request form should not be filed with the court. The notice concludes with a warning advising parties to seek legal advice if they do not understand their financial responsibilities. www.FormsWorkflow.com
