One of their houses is in Arizona and the other in Arkansas. They actually live in Arkansas but the wife has moved back into the house in Arizona two months ago. He stayed in the house in Arkansas. They haved lived in Arkansas for a year or so. Are they legal residents of Arkansas or since they own a house in Arizona are they legal residents of Arizona?

Owning a house in a state does not make you a legal resident of that state. Residing in the state makes you a legal resident, and in most states you have to reside there for at least six months before you're considered a resident.
EDITED TO ADD THIS:
I just checked--in order to file for divorce in the state of AZ you have to have resided there at least 90 days. And since this is posted in ‘marriage and divorce’, I assume that’s the reason for the question.

Depends upon state laws and I don't know them.
Why would you be concerned about state residency? It's their property?
I can kind of give you an example though. My In-laws have a house in the mountains of Idaho where I live also (in the state of ID). In Idaho you have to live in that state for six months to be a resident. Just because you own property in another stae does not make you a leagl resident of that state.
Like I said, depends upon state laws. Check 'em out.

at the start i would not enable him to stay for any added nights, besides the shown fact that in case you desire to circulate by with it then i think of you all ought to take a seat and talk this. on the tip of the day you too would desire to be being consulted on who's/isn't staying on your place. i'd recommend which you positioned a undeniable volume of time for him to stay and tell him how long that's. in this time he must be looking and making selection preparations as you're no longer a inn, homeless hostel or something. form this out first and then come to a determination how lots lease he needs to pay etc for the time he's there,lower back you're no longer working a charity. If he has no longer stumbled on someplace to stay interior the alloted time, then he will ought to circulate lower back to his mum's place, crowded or no longer. he isn't yours or your husband's accountability and additionally you're entitled to have your place as your guy or woman with no need visitors staying there in case you so choose. additionally place a ban on the alcohol, if he needs to drink then he will ought to discover someplace else to do it. you're retaining a house no longer a ingesting den. keep in mind you and your husband can nonetheless supply him the help without him residing with you - that's in comparison to you're stoppping him from vacationing is it! wish each and every thing works out nicely for you, solid success.

Depends on where they file their taxes. They have to declare one place as a primary residence

IDK the laws in those particular states, but I would think that they are residents of Arkansas.
