Legal Question in Family Law in Arizona

Re: Self Determination

Under Arizona law, there is no magic age that allows a child to simply make his own choice (except 18, of course, when he becomes an adult).

Instead, the law requires that the Court "consider" the desires of the child in every case. Thus, as they get older, the more weight the Court usually puts into their desires. But, it is only one of many factors.

Please contact me directly to discuss this in more detail.
