On the Court Petition/Response, it says “We have tried to resolve our problems through Conciliation Services or going to Conciliation Services would not work.” What does that mean?

As stated above, Conciliation Court was instituted in Arizona to “preserve, promote and protect family life and the institution of matrimony…” This question is asking petitioner and respondent to consider whether counseling may help save the marriage. Conciliation Court provides up to 3 sessions of counseling for free. If one or both parties wishes to attempt counseling before getting divorced, counseling may be requested by completing the petition online, calling FSCC at 520-866-5760 or going to Family Services of the Conciliation Court or the Clerk’s office.
