No. The rules of ethics prohibit an attorney from representing both parties to a divorce. If an attorney tells you he/she can represent both parties, find another attorney. However, neither party is required to have an attorney. Anyone divorcing in Arizona can choose NOT to hire an attorney. It is not uncommon for one party to hire an attorney and for the other party to represent himself. In this case, however, the attorney still represents just one party; the other party is UNrepresented.
