Bill > HB2213

This bill requires the Administrative Office of the Courts in Arizona to create and maintain a free online estimator on the superior court's website for calculating potential financial outcomes of a dissolution of marriage, which is the legal process of ending a marriage. This estimator must clearly state its assumptions and limitations, provide ranges of possible outcomes rather than exact predictions, and offer links to relevant laws and plain language summaries, while also being available in English and Spanish and meeting online accessibility standards. Crucially, the estimator is for informational purposes only, does not constitute legal advice, and cannot be used as evidence in court, though it may show that educational materials were consulted. It will present scenarios for property and debt division, potential spousal maintenance (alimony) awards, and the estate planning effects of a divorce, emphasizing that users should seek legal advice for specific situations. The estimator will not create a legal record, and while anonymous usage data may be collected, no personally identifiable information will be retained. The Administrative Office of the Courts will review and update the estimator annually to reflect changes in state law, and reliance on the estimator does not create legal liability for the state or its judiciary.
