2 MEMORANDUM DECISION
Presiding Judge Kenton D. Jones delivered the decision of the Court, in which Vice Chief Judge Kent E. Cattani and Judge Maria Elena Cruz joined.

J O N E S , Judge:

¶1 Tiffany Smith (Mother) appeals the family court’s order regarding legal decision

- making and parenting time of two minor children (the Children) . For the following reasons, we affirm.

FACTS AND PROCEDURAL HISTORY

¶2 In April 2017, Kyle Van Selow (Father) petitioned the family court to establish legal decision

- making, paren ting time, and child support for the Children , then ages two and four . After the parties stipulated to paternity, the court directed both par ent s to participate in random drug testing and appointed a best

- interests attorney. In May, the court entered
tem porary orders awarding the parties joint legal decision

- making and requiring Mother’s parenting time be supervised.

¶3 At trial in August 2018, Father presented evidence that he had tested clean for substances throughout the proceedings , completed a drug abus e assessment program, and was providing the Children with a safe stable home. Additionally, although several prior Department of Child Safety (DCS) investigations had been closed as unsubstantiated, a recent report that the Children were sexually abused w hile in Mother’s care was under investigation. Mother acknowledged she initially tested positive for methamphetamine and amphetamine but claimed she had attended substance abuse treatment and maintained sobriety since then

. She did not submit any documen tation to support this assertion and admitted she stopped testing altogether in August 2017

. ¶4 After taking the matter under advisement, the family court found joint legal decision

- making was not appropriate given Mother ’s non

compliance with court orders to participate in drug testing
, and her lack of stability and commitment to exercising her parenting time . The court entered an order awarding Father sole legal decision

- making and continu ed supervised parenting time for Mother. Mother timely appealed,SELOW v. SMITH Decision of the Court

3 and we have jurisdiction pursuant to Arizona Revised Statutes §§ 12

- 120.21(A)(1) and

- 2101(A)(1).

DISCUSSION

¶5 Mother argues the family court abused its discretion by failing to obtain and review documents from DCS and failing to consider M other’s testimony that she had maintained sobriety and completed a drug and alcohol assessment. 1 Ordinarily
, we would review the introduction and evaluation of evidence for an abuse of discretion. John C. Lincoln Hosp. & Health Corp. v. Maricopa Cnty. , 2 08 Ariz. 532, 543, ¶ 33 (App. 2004) (citing Yauch v. S. Pac. Transp. Co. , 198 Ariz. 394, 399, ¶ 10 (App. 2000)). But , although Mother states that the DCS records Father submitted were incomplete and should have included reports evidencing her sobriety
, sh e does not assert that she was prevented from proffering documents on her

own or that the court re jected documents or evidence that she submitted. Moreover, t he record and the court’s order reflect that the court received evidence regarding the DCS invest igations as well as Mother ’s testi mony regarding her sobriety. To the extent the court believed the evidence was relevant and competent, we presume it was considered. See May v. Sexton , 68 Ariz. 358, 360 (1949). Accordingly, Mother fails to prove any error.

CONCLUSION

¶6 The family court’s orders are affirmed.

1 Fa ther did not file an answering brief. Although we could regard this failure as a confession of error, see ARCAP 15(a)(2); Thompson v. Thompson , 217 Ariz. 524, 526, ¶ 6 n.1 (App. 2008), in our discretion, we decline to do so, see Nydam v. Crawford , 181 Ariz. 101, 101 (App. 1994).
