Arizona SB1657 caps attorney fees in domestic relations proceedings at 15% of disposable income or $8,000.
Arizona SB1657 amends the state's domestic relations proceedings by adding a new section that mandates attorney fees be paid from community assets. If community assets are absent, the court is restricted from awarding fees exceeding 15% of the party's disposable income or $8,000, whichever is greater. This provision aims to ensure fairness in the financial burden of legal fees during family court cases.
