Can it be on record through the court?
A: In any divorce, the parties can reach an equitable settlement which can be ordered by the court, so the answer to your question is, "yes."
A:
If the two of your reach and an agreement, then yes he can absolutely waive his interest in your retirement. If it is not part of an agreement, then you cannot compel him to do so in Arizona.
