HB2237 Summary

• Modifies Arizona's marital property and community debt liability law effective December 31, 2020.

• Allows spouses to be sued jointly on community debts, with judgments satisfied first from community property, then from the spouse's separate property who contracted the debt.

• If only the contracting spouse is sued individually, judgment is satisfied from community property that would have been their separate property if single, plus their separate property.

• Prohibits the non-contracting spouse from being sued separately on the same debt or obligation.
