Legal Question in Family Law in Arizona

Per Arizona law, Joint Custody shall not be awarded if the court makes a finding of the existence of significant domestic violence. The court is required to consider evidence of domestic violence as being contrary to the best interests of the child.

However, the overall nature of the incident should have a huge effect on how much the Court considers it.

We can certainly help you consider and then pursue your options for pursuing custody and parenting time. This is obviously a very important matter, and you should not go in alone.

One of our attorneys can explain the issues and procedures better in person. As you can imagine, there is too much to cover via email. We offer free 1/2 hour consultations, in which we can discuss your matter in detail.
