This bill proposes to amend Arizona Revised Statutes by adding a new section, 25-332, which establishes a free online estimator for financial outcomes related to the dissolution of marriage. The estimator, designed and maintained by the administrative office of the courts, will provide users with nonbinding estimates based on their input, including property and debt division, spousal maintenance awards, and estate planning effects. It will include disclaimers about its limitations, be available in both English and Spanish, and adhere to online accessibility standards. The estimator will not constitute legal advice or create any legal rights or records.
Additionally, the bill mandates that the estimator be reviewed and updated annually to reflect changes in state laws affecting property division or spousal maintenance. It also stipulates that reliance on the estimator does not create a private right of action against the state or judiciary. Overall, the bill aims to enhance public access to information regarding divorce proceedings while ensuring that users understand the estimator's purpose and limitations.
