Arizona's sixty-day clock runs from SERVICE — file and serve promptly

The court cannot hold a trial or hearing or consider a dissolution decree until sixty days after the date of service (or acceptance) of process — the clock runs from service, not filing. Filing early does nothing until service happens; serving promptly starts the only clock that matters.

The honesty note

The floor is the earliest legal possibility — county calendars and any conciliation proceedings control the real date, and this platform never guesses them.

A.R.S. § 25-329 · #33b32dc1

Legal information, not legal advice. Statements about county practice defer to your superior court's local requirements and the Self-Service Center — where this platform has no verified county data, it says so instead of guessing.
