Parenting time in AZ
As part of its child custody order, a court will also determine how much parenting time is best. When you need to make a petition for child custody or parenting time, AZ Diamond Documents can help.
Child custody and parenting time
When parents divorce or separate, the children must be cared for in a stable environment. If parents don’t agree on plans for raising their children, then the court will make appropriate decisions regarding their health and welfare.
The most important decisions are how much time each parent will spend with the child and who will be the child’s primary caregiver. Well-written petitions and supporting documents are the best way to inform the court so that it can determine the best solution for the children.
Sometimes unmarried parents, other relatives, or even unrelated persons may also ask a court for parenting time or child custody. In each case, the legal standard for a court’s decision is to be based on the children’s best interests.
What’s parenting time?
Most custody-related problems arise when parents ask a court for a divorce or separation. Yet, issues can also arise between unmarried partners or between parents who don’t live together and never formalized any childcare plans.
The right amount of time
- Age and health of child and parents
- Available time of each parent
- Suitability of living conditions in the home
- Work or other obligations that might affect the child
- Distance between parents’ homes
- School and activities scheduling
Important questions to be decided
- Christmas and other holidays
- Birthdays, graduations, and other special occasions (including parents’ birthdays)
- Vacations and school breaks
