Child Custody

The Arizona State Court makes decisions in regards to custody based entirely on what would be in the best interests of the child or children. The state will award either individual or joint custody, depending on which would serve the child’s interests best. When the court awards joint custody, both parents will need to be in agreement and a written parenting plan needs to be in place to assure that there are no misunderstandings on either end regarding where the child should be at any given time.

When making decisions regarding custody, the court will take the desires of the parents in mind, but also look at what the children want too, assuming they are of age to make such a decision. Other factors used in making such a decision include: who has been the primary caregiver in the past, mental and physical health of either parent, any drug or criminal convictions that may exist and which parent would be most likely to preserve meaningful contact between the child and the other parent.

Our smooth breakup allowed us to file for uncontested divorce and we just decided to arrange it as simply as possible. Online divorce seemed to be a good idea, and now I'm sure we did it right. All the papers were prepared with no issues and I'm pleased with the price. Thanks.

I think that all the papers related to a certain county with its own legal nuances would be prepared correctly only by a Arizona-based company. So that's why I used ArizonaOnlineDivorce and I was really satisfied. My divorce papers were completed in a timely manner and I had no troubles with filing. That was a really smooth process and you can be confident with your filing.

It always seemed to me that divorce must be a much more complicated process. I couldn't imagine how I would cope with that. Where do I get all those papers, how to fill them out and where to go and what to do? So, I was really glad I found Arizonaonlinedivorce.com and they took care of all the paperwork and gave me clear instructions on how to file with the court. That made the whole process so much easier!
