"Arizona Filing Bankruptcy"
Each city within the state is part of a federal district. By initiating an Arizona bankruptcy case in a
particular county, state laws are incorporated into the federal process and determine, to a large extent, which
debts are enforceable, tort liability, criminal liability, and liability for divorce and child support
obligations.
