Legal Question in Family Law in Arizona
Visitation with non-custodial parent
I have joint custody of my 2 sons ages 6 and 9. I reside in CA and my ex resides in AZ. My ex husband has a girlfriend who just moved in with him. She also has two children. My ex informed that CPS is investigating her. In addition to that, I learned that she is a convicted felon. What rights do I have regarding visitation with the father. I am really concerned about this mainly because my kids do not visit just for short periods of time.

I think you absolutely have the right to seek some sort of restrictions on Father's access to the children.
I can explain the procedures better by phone or in person. As you can imagaine, there is too much to cover via e'mail. We offer free 1/2 hour consultations, in which we can discuss the matter in more detail.
Please call me directly to discuss the specifics of your case, or contact my assistant Audrey to schedule a free 1/2 hour consultation. I look forward to talking with you.

You need to file an OSC with the Court and/or you may need to modify your current custody agreement. More information is needed, but you do have many options. Good luck
Re: Visitation with non-custodial parent
Set up OSC hearing with court to discuss this. Not what rights do you have but what responsibility do you have to protect your kids. Do it.
