Issues In Child Custody

Today the Arizona courts prefer that both parents continue to have consistent and meaningful contact with children post-divorce and tend to favor joint custody when appropriate. This cooperative approach also extends to legal decision-making ability. Above all, the court will always rule according to what it considers to be best for the children.


Contact our Arizona law firm to learn more about the various issues in child custody that we can help you address, including the following:

  • Parenting plans (physical custody)
  • Legal decision-making (legal custody)
  • Child relocation
  • Child custody modifications
  • Grandparent rights/visitation

Parenting time is one of the most emotional issues in family law cases, but it is important not to put your children in the middle of your divorce or paternity dispute. By trying to work collaboratively with your co-parent, you can build a positive foundation that will best serve your children for years to come. However, in the event that amicable solutions cannot be met through peaceful negotiation, our law firm is fully prepared to argue in the best interests of the children.
