I've been trying lately to find out the best way to find the Arizona Rules of Family Law Procedure online. I'm doing this for my own benefit and to respond to people who've asked me this. The old link to a Westlaw site for Arizona rules is no longer operational. I don't know if West has pulled its free access to Rules, or if that site is under construction.
So here's what I've come up with. At Rules you can find the Arizona Supreme Court's most recent Order adopting changes to the Rules which were effective 1-1-2009. This is a nice thing to have, and shows the changes with strikeouts and bolding. BUT, for any Rules sections which were not changed in 2009, this document just says "no changes to current text". So it's not complete.
Another great document is attached. Download ARFLP_Red,_Blue_and_Green[1] It's informally called the "red, blue and green" version of the Rules. The red inserts in this document show the changes that were effective 1-1-2008; the blue is changes effective 1-1-2009; and the green are possible future changes. I can't emphasize "possible" enough; anything in green has not even yet been sent to the Supreme Court in the form of a Rules petition, so you can't count on those possible changes unless they appear in a future Petition to the Arizona Supreme Court. At the earliest, they could represent changes that could take place in 2011.
