Child Custody
Understanding your custody and parenting rights
When it comes to child custody and parenting time, the law is unique in every state. Knowing your legal rights as a parent and understanding your options can be difficult. That’s why hiring an experienced lawyer from the ReGain Law Firm in Chandler, Arizona can make all the difference. Our team of attorneys have extensive experience helping parents understand their rights under Arizona's unique laws.
In Arizona, child custody laws are in place to determine the legal rights of a parent or guardian to make decisions about the medical, educational, religious and childcare for their child. The goal is to ensure that both parents are involved in the child’s life and that their best interests are protected when making these decisions. Child custody is typically decided through mediation, settlement or court order. If no agreement can be reached between the two parties, then a judge will decide what custody arrangements are in the best interest of the child.
In making a determination, courts consider each parent's ability to provide care and how well they have been meeting their parental responsibilities as well as any special needs of the child. Courts also consider any evidence suggesting one parent is unsafe or unfit to take care of a child such as criminal records or drug use. Once an order of custody is finalized, it can only be changed with permission from the court based on very specific circumstances such as relocating outside of state limits or severe changes in circumstances such as the parent being incarcerated

Arizona Custody Laws
In Arizona, child custody is determined by what is considered to be in the “best interests” of the child. This means that both parents must agree upon a parenting plan that outlines where the child lives most of the time (primary residence), who makes decisions about the health and education of their children (legal decision making authority), and any visitation rights for each parent (parenting time). The court will look at a variety of factors to determine if either parent should get sole legal or physical custody. These factors include but are not limited to:
•The wishes of both parents
•The wishes of the child
•The emotional bond between parent and child
•The mental and physical health conditions of each parent
•Any history of domestic violence or substance abuse
