Answer: Based on the information you gave us in your question, you have already filed your petition and are awaiting a court date.  You would benefit from at least talking with a lawyer before going to court. There are programs in Arizona that you can use to get some inexpensive legal advice and guidance. One is the Modest Means Program.  For a $75 fee, the Modest Means Program will arrange a one hour consult with an experienced attorney.  The telephone number is (866) 637-5341 or you can apply online at http://www.azlawhelp.org/accessToJustice.cfm.
