No, civil unions are not legally performed in Arizona, nor are they legally recognized. The Civil Partnerships Proposition attempted to put this issue on the Nov 2010 election ballots, but it failed to make the ballot.

On April 2, 2013, the small border town of Bisbee,

AZ, (pop. about 5,000) enacted a city ordinance that legalizes civil unions within the city limits. This is the first city in the United States to issue civil unions in a state that does not permit them. Arizona Attorney General Tom Horne has indicated that the state will not recognize Bisbee

civil unions and will even petition the court to overturn the ordinance.

What are the weaknesses of a common law relationship?
