Child Custody Cases in Arizona Require Lawyers with Family Law Experience, Accor ding to Arizona Divorce Attorneys

Corso & Rhude In Arizona, juveniles whose parents or guardians are seeking legal separation or divorce are not afforded specific rights by Arizona statutes in terms of their custodial placement. However, the court does take into consideration the childs p references when determining custodial arrangements. Scottsdale, AZ, June 20, 2013 -- Child custody in Arizona is one of the most imp ortant issues parents must take into consideration when entering a legal separat ion or divorce. The battle for custody is not easy to fight alone, said Christopher P. Corso, Esq. Our family attorneys truly care about each familys situation and we fight to keep families united. In child custody cases, the term juvenile usually refers to a child under the ag e of 18 or who is still in high school past the age of 18. It may also refer to persons whose mental or emotional states require the ongoing care of an adult. I n Arizona, juveniles whose parents or guardians are seeking legal separation or divorce are not afforded specific rights by Arizona statutes in terms of their c ustodial placement. However, the court does take into consideration the childs pr eferences when determining custodial arrangements. Can a minor child (juvenile) choose which parent he or she lives with? While a juvenile does not have the express right to choose which parent or legal guardian he or she lives with, the wishes of the juvenile are taken into accoun t as the court determines what custodial arrangement is in the best interests of the child. If a juvenile does not want to live with either parent, what happens? Arizona courts make child custody determinations by considering what is in the b est interest of the child. This process takes into consideration specific criter ia as determined by A.R.S. 25-403. Any decisions regarding child custody placeme nt are determined by the court unless the parents have filed a parenting plan th at the court upholds. If the court determines that the child has been the victim of abuse or the parents household is unfit, it may choose to place the child wit h a responsible adult who is not the childs parent. It is important to take into consideration the rights and preferences of a juveni le during custody proceedings, said John M. Rhude, Esq. Our Arizona attorneys have handled numerous custody cases and understand the case from every perspective.
