Child custody and parenting time deal with a similar topic, but are distinctively different. Child custody refers to each parent’s right to share in making important decisions in the child’s upbringing. In Arizona, most parents obtain joint legal custody. This means that each parent is entitled to a say in making decisions about education, religion, health care and other important decisions. Parenting time simply refers to the amount of time each parent spends with a child.

Arizona courts deal with the modification of child custody and parenting time in different ways. If you want to modify your child custody arrangement, you must wait for one year to have elapsed from the last child custody order. If the other parent is not following the parenting plan, only six months has to have elapsed. Parenting time may be modified at any point, based on the best interests of the child. Our lawyers represent parents who want to modify child custody and parenting time, as well as parents opposing a change. In either case, we will put forth a persuasive argument on your behalf.

Chandler Child Custody Attorneys Handling Parental Relocation Cases

When the parent with the majority of the parenting time wants to move out of Arizona, he or she must provide a Notice of Intent to Relocate with the appropriate court. The other parent has 30 days to ask for a hearing. If you are the primary residential parent and want to move, or if you oppose such a move, it is always beneficial to get a lawyer involved.
