DID YOU KNOW? 👀

Joint legal decision-making does NOT automatically mean equal parenting time in Arizona.

In Arizona, there are two separate issues parents need to understand:

Legal decision-making refers to who has authority to make major decisions for the child, such as education, medical care, and religious upbringing.

Parenting time refers to the actual schedule - when the child is with each parent.

So, even if parents share joint legal decision-making, that does not automatically mean the parenting schedule will be 50/50.

The Court still looks at what parenting time arrangement is in the child’s best interests, including things like the child’s needs, each parent’s availability, the distance between homes, school schedules, the parents’ ability to communicate, and the overall stability of the proposed plan.

DID YOU KNOW? 👀

Moving out of the marital home does NOT automatically mean you “abandoned” your children or lose custody rights in Arizona.

This is one of the biggest misconceptions we hear during divorce and custody consultations.

In many situations, moving out may actually help reduce conflict and create a healthier environment for the children.

What matters most to the Court is typically:
✔️ your involvement with the children,
✔️ your parenting history,
✔️ your communication,
✔️ stability,
✔️ and what arrangement serves the children’s best interests.

However, there IS an important catch:

If you move out and go long periods without exercising parenting time or staying involved, that can absolutely impact your case later.

Before making major decisions during a divorce or custody dispute, it is important to understand the potential legal and strategic consequences.

DID YOU KNOW?

In Arizona, refusing parenting time because child support has not been paid can seriously backfire.

Child support and parenting time are treated as two completely separate issues by the Court.

That means:

* A parent generally cannot withhold the children because support wasn’t paid.
* And a parent generally cannot stop paying support because parenting time was denied.

If there is a violation, the proper remedy is usually filing with the Court — not self-help.

One of the biggest mistakes parents make during custody disputes is trying to “even the score.” Judges notice that quickly.

Protect your case by staying compliant and documenting issues appropriately.
