Legal Question in Family Law in Arizona

Re: minor restraining order

The body of this question does not indicate who is seeking legal advice: the father, the mother or the daughter. The substance of the law is the same for all three parties, but the advice will depend on who is seeking to take action.

If this is a case that is or will be filed in Arizona, please feel free to contact me to provide additional information.

Re: minor restraining order

Ultimately, a Judge will have to decide what exactly is in the child's best interests. I believe the child's desires will carry a good amount of weight in such a decision.

Re: minor restraining order

You did not state the reason that your mom does not want you to visit your father. If her reason is merely that she is mad at him it is unlikely that the court will issue the order. If the reason involves safety then the court may issue the restraining order. You should either talk to you mom or have an influential relative speak to her. You should be allowed to have this visit unless there is no way to insure your safety.
