How Arizona Handles Child Custody
In Arizona, custody cases are heard in the superior court, and the law uses the terms legal decision-making (who makes major decisions for the child) and parenting time instead of custody and visitation. Judges decide based on the best interests of the child.
Arizona law says the court should not favor a parent because of that parent’s gender, and it aims to give each fit parent meaningful parenting time. The court considers the child’s wishes if the child is old enough and mature enough to form them. Significant domestic violence weighs heavily against joint legal decision-making.
Unmarried fathers: paternity must be legally established, through a signed acknowledgment of paternity or a court order, before an Arizona father can ask the court for legal decision-making or parenting time.
An Arizona family law attorney can explain how these rules apply to your situation and what to expect in your county’s court.
