Arizona Family Court judges have certain preferences when it comes to issuing family law orders, which are sometimes called presumptions. In Arizona, there is a presumption that it is beneficial for the child to have a relationship with both parents. In fact, there is also a presumption that the child should have equal amounts of time with each parent, or as close to equal as possible. Therefore, don’t assume that you will be awarded sole custody just because you have been the one primarily responsible for childcare during your relationship. The judge will only award one parent sole custody if there is a compelling reason for doing so. SCHEDULE YOUR FREE CONSULTATION WITH AN EXPERIENCED TUCSON, ARIZONA FAMILY LAW ATTORNEY
