\"\"<\/a>In the last legislative session, the Arizona legislature amended Arizona Revised Statute \u00a7 25-103. That statute now declares that it is the \u201cpublic policy of this state and the general purpose of this title that absent evidence to the contrary, it is in the child\u2019s best interest: (1) to have substantial, frequent, meaningful and continuing parenting time with both parents. (2) to have both parents participate in decision making about the child.\u201d<\/div>\n
This new statute apparently creates a presumption in favor of joint custody in Arizona. At a minimum, there is now a presumption in favor of joint legal custody (shared decision-making). It is possible that some judges will also construe this statute as creating a presumption in favor of equal time with both parents absent a showing that equal time is contrary to the child\u2019s best interests.<\/div>\n
The statute goes on to mandate that \u201ca court shall apply the provisions of this title in a manner that is consistent with this section.\u201d In short, Arizona Family Court judges are now required to apply the child custody and other marital and other domestic relations statutes in Title 25 in a matter that is consistent with A.R.S. \u00a7 25-103, as amended.<\/div>\n
