Arizona Joint Petition for Pre-screen Mediation is a legal process designed to help couples who are going through a divorce and seeking a resolution to their disputes without having to go to court. It is a voluntary process that is meant to help couples resolve their issues through negotiations and compromise. The process involves both parties signing a joint petition that is then submitted to a family court judge. The judge will then appoint a mediator to assist in negotiations and the parties will attend mediation sessions with the mediator to discuss and attempt to come to a resolution. There are two types of Arizona Joint Petition for Pre-screen Mediation: Traditional and Collaborative. Traditional mediation involves both parties attending mediation sessions with a neutral third party mediator to discuss their issues and attempt to come to a resolution.

Both parties are represented by their own lawyers and the negotiations are facilitated by the mediator.
