What this form asks for

The AI fills all of it, from your answers or your documents.

Form DR72f, the Good Faith Consultation Certificate, is required by the Superior Court of Arizona in Maricopa County under Rule 9(c) of the Arizona Rules of Family Law Procedure. It serves as a formal declaration that a party has made a good-faith effort, typically by phone or in person, to resolve a specific issue with the opposing party before seeking a court ruling. This certificate is crucial as it demonstrates compliance with procedural rules aimed at encouraging out-of-court resolutions. Today, this form can be filled out quickly and accurately using AI-powered services like Instafill.ai, which can also convert non-fillable PDF versions into interactive fillable forms.

The AI checks your answers before you download

13 checks built for this form, so a wrong date or a missing answer is caught before anyone else sees it.

Case Number Presence and Format

This check ensures the 'Case No.' field is not empty and conforms to the standard format for Maricopa County family court cases. A valid case number is critical for associating the document with the correct legal proceeding. If the number is missing or incorrectly formatted, the filing will be rejected by the clerk, causing delays.

Exclusive Representation Selection

Validates that the filer has selected exactly one representation status from the available options ('Self, without a Lawyer', 'Attorney for Petitioner', 'Attorney for Respondent'). This is crucial for the court to understand the filer's legal standing in the case. Failure to select one and only one option will result in an error, as the filer's role must be unambiguous.

Conditional Lawyer's Bar Number Requirement

This check verifies that the 'Lawyer’s Bar Number' field is filled out if the filer has indicated they are an 'Attorney for' either the Petitioner or Respondent. This number is essential for verifying the attorney's credentials and good standing with the State Bar. If an attorney is filing but the bar number is missing, the form submission will be blocked until it is provided.

Issue Description Completeness

Ensures that the text area describing the legal issue requiring 'good faith consultation' is not left blank. The purpose of this certificate is to inform the court about a specific dispute, so this description is mandatory context. A submission with an empty issue description would be considered incomplete and rejected.

Mutually Exclusive Consultation Statement

This validation ensures the filer either provides details of a consultation attempt (option 'a') OR checks the box for an exemption (option 'b'), but not both. These options are mutually exclusive ways to satisfy Rule 9(c). Selecting both or neither creates a logical contradiction, and the form cannot be processed until one clear choice is made.

Consultation Attempt Detail Requirement

If the filer indicates that a good-faith attempt to resolve the issue was made (option 'a'), this check ensures the corresponding text box describing the attempt is filled in. The court requires details of the attempt (e.g., date, method) to verify that the consultation was genuine. An empty description for a claimed attempt will result in a validation failure.

Common Mistakes in Completing DR72f

The ones the AI is built to catch.

Incomplete or Incorrect Case Information
Filers often enter the Case Number with typos, misspell the names of the Petitioner or Respondent, or forget to list the assigned Judge/Commissioner. This typically happens due to carelessness or not having official court documents on hand for reference. An incorrect Case Number can cause the certificate to be rejected or misfiled, leading to significant case delays. Always double-check this information against existing court records before submitting.
Failing to Clearly Describe the Legal Issue
The form requires a clear statement of the specific issue requiring consultation, but many filers are too vague, emotional, or describe personal grievances instead of the legal dispute. For example, writing "they are being difficult" is not sufficient. This ambiguity can lead the court to reject the filing for being unclear. To avoid this, concisely state the specific legal point of contention, such as "Disagreement over the child's school enrollment for the upcoming academic year."
Misunderstanding the 'In Person or by Telephone' Rule
A critical error is believing that sending an email or letter satisfies the 'good faith consultation' requirement. The form explicitly states that the consultation or attempt must be made 'in person or by telephone.' Filings that only describe contact via text, email, or letter will be deemed non-compliant by the court, invalidating the certificate and delaying the resolution of the issue.
Forgetting to Sign and Date the Verification
Forgetting to sign and date the document under the 'Verification' section is a frequent and fatal mistake. An unsigned legal document is invalid and will be immediately rejected by the court clerk, halting all progress. This simple oversight requires the filer to correct and resubmit the entire document, causing unnecessary delays. Always perform a final check for a signature and the correct date before filing.
Providing Insufficient Detail for the Consultation Attempt
When selecting option (a), filers must describe their attempt to resolve the issue, but often provide vague statements like 'I called them.' This is not enough to prove a 'good-faith' effort. A judge may find the attempt insufficient, so you must provide specific details such as the date, time, who was contacted, and a brief, neutral summary of the attempt or conversation.
Incorrectly Completing the Certificate of Service
The Certificate of Service is proof that all parties were notified, but it's often filled out incorrectly. Common errors include leaving dates blank, using the wrong dates, or providing an incomplete or outdated address for the opposing party or their attorney. An improper Certificate of Service can invalidate the filing and force you to re-serve the documents, delaying your case. AI-powered tools like Instafill.ai can help prevent these errors by accurately populating and validating contact information.
Selecting Both or Neither Consultation Option
The form requires the filer to choose between option (a), certifying a consultation was attempted, or option (b), certifying an exemption applies. A common error is checking both boxes or, conversely, failing to check either one. This creates a logical contradiction or an incomplete filing, which will be rejected by the court. You must carefully read and select only one option that accurately reflects your circumstances.
Improperly Claiming Exemption from Consultation
Option (b) allows a filer to bypass the consultation requirement due to a protective order or history of domestic violence. A serious mistake is checking this box without a valid, documented basis, such as a current court order or formal allegations already in the case record. Falsely claiming this exemption is a serious matter that can lead to court sanctions. This option should only be used when the specific conditions described can be verified.
Missing or Incorrect ATLAS or Bar Number
Filers often leave the ATLAS Number (for self-represented parties) or Lawyer’s Bar Number fields blank because they are unsure what they are or where to find them. While a missing ATLAS number might just slow down processing, an attorney omitting their Bar Number will cause a rejection. This information is crucial for the court to quickly and accurately identify the parties involved. If the form is a non-fillable PDF, tools like Instafill.ai can convert it into an interactive version, making it easier to fill these fields correctly.

What is the purpose of the Good Faith Consultation Certificate?

Who needs to file this form?
Either the Petitioner or Respondent in a family law case must file this certificate when presenting an issue to the court that first requires a 'good faith consultation' under the rules. It is typically filed along with a motion or other request for a court order.
What does 'good faith consultation' actually mean?
It means you made a sincere attempt to discuss and resolve the issue directly with the other party (or their lawyer) in person or by telephone. The form specifies that simply sending a letter or email is not enough to meet this requirement.
How do I choose between option 'a' and option 'b' on the form?
Select option 'a' if you attempted to resolve the issue by talking with the other party in person or by phone, and then describe that attempt. Choose option 'b' if you are not required to have contact due to a court order, a history of domestic violence, or an allegation of domestic violence where the victim is self-represented.
What if there is a restraining order or history of domestic violence between us?
If a court order prohibits contact or there is a history of domestic violence, you are not required to consult directly with the other party. You should check box 'b' on the form to certify this to the court.
What information do I need to have ready to fill out this form?
You will need your court case number, the names of the petitioner and respondent, the assigned judge's name, and a clear description of the issue you tried to resolve. You must also provide details about your consultation attempt or the reason one was not required.

If the certificate is required for your motion and you fail to file it, the court may reject your motion or deny your request without holding a hearing. It is a mandatory step for certain court actions.

This section is your official declaration that you have provided copies of the filed document to all required parties, including the court clerk, the judge, and the opposing party. You must fill in the dates you sent the copies and sign it.
