In Arizona, we don’t use the word legal custody anymore. We now refer to legal custody as decision-making authority. Sole legal decision making authority refers to a situation where one parent makes all the major decisions for a child. It’s rare. Most of the time, legal decision-making is joint. For more information, contact me, Greg Davis at Davis Limited, (602) 279-1900.

Hello, I want to speak today about whether you are required to report child abuse and if so to whom you report that concern about child abuse. Unless you are a mandatory reporter or the care provider for a child, you do not have an obligation to report a suspicion of child abuse to law enforcement or child protective services.
Although, as parents and members of our community, we would hope that we would all report any concerns of abuse you may not be required to do so. A mandatory reporter in the state of Arizona however, must always report a concern of child abuse.
Mandatory reports include, but are not limited to teachers and school personal, medical personal such as nurses and doctors, counselors and psychologists, any care giver for a child, such as a day care provider or any other person who is in the position of caring for a child. If you have any other questions regarding whether you have a duty of reporting suspected child abuse, please feel free to contact me.
For more information on whether or not you are required to report child abuse in Arizona, please contact a Scottsdale child abuse lawyer.

Legal separation can take a number of months. It can actually take longer than that, but the minimum time in Arizona is sixty days, which is the exact same as a divorce. So, if you were hoping for a quicker disposition of your legal separation, unfortunately you are not able to do that any faster than you would a divorce. But, that’s not the only reason to consider a legal separation. Each case is different. Each case is unique and we’d love the opportunity to talk about that with you. If you’d like more information, contact me.

A very common question we receive is, how long will it take to finalize my divorce case. In Arizona, the short answer is that it has to take at least (61) days. By statute, the court cannot grant a divorce until 60 days after the case has been filed, and the other person has been served, or notified of the case, and so especially in simple cases where the parties can reach an agreement, we can often finalize those cases in (60) to (90) days.
With more complicated cases, especially those cases where we have to gather documents, and we have to gather evidence, and we have to prepare witnesses, and we have to prepare for trial, those cases can take (4) to (6) months and even in certain cases, up to a year. Now, if you’d like more information about your divorce case, please contact us (480) 733-6800, or you can visit us online.

Child custody, which is now called legal decision-making modifications, are controlled by Arizona Revised Statutes, title 25, section 411, and Arizona Revised Statutes, title 25, section 403. A parent cannot modify legal decision-making or parenting time earlier than one year after the initial determination. Unless the court permits the request, because there is reason to believe the child’s present environment may seriously endanger the child’s physical, mental, moral, or emotional health.
The first step is to file a Post-Decree Petition for modification with the court. In order to obtain the modification the court considers 11 factors, which are clearly outlined in Arizona Revised Statute, title 25, section 403. Please contact me at Warner Angle, 602-264-7101. I will schedule a complimentary consultation to review your options of obtaining a modification, and the factors that the court considers in making their determination. I’ll look forward to meeting with you.

In Arizona, we have a procedure called a petition for temporary orders. A temporary orders petition asks the court to award spousal maintenance, child support and, or parenting time and decision making authority, with respect to children while the divorce is going on. For more information, contact me, Greg Davis at Davis Limited, (602) 279-1900.
