\"\"<\/a>What effect, if any, does a parent’s cohabitation with a new boyfriend or girlfriend have on the parent’s rights to child custody and parenting time?\u00a0\u00a0 Judges today certainly view the cohabitation as less significant\u00a0than did the\u00a0last generation of judges.\u00a0 In fact, in most\u00a0of today’s cases, the cohabitation has virtually no impact on the judge’s child custody and parenting time decisions.<\/p>\n

In the late 1990’s, I handled a divorce \/ child custody case for a father (“Dad”).\u00a0 After a few months of wrangling, the parties agreed on joint legal custody, with the children residing primarily with their mother (“Mom”).\u00a0 Dad would have parenting time with the kids every other weekend and two evenings each week.\u00a0 After the parties had signed off on the agreement but before the final divorce decree and parenting plan were signed and approved\u00a0by the judge, Dad moved in with his girlfriend.\u00a0 Mom objected to this, saying it was harmful to the kids to be with Dad overnight if he was cohabiting with a woman out of wedlock.\u00a0 Mom filed a motion with the court to modify the custody and parenting plan, which had not yet been approved as a final order of the court.<\/p>\n

At the court hearing, the fact of my client’s cohabitation with his girlfriend was undisputed.\u00a0 No evidence was presented, however,\u00a0as to the specific harm, if any, \u00a0the children were suffering by being with Dad overnight while\u00a0Dad was\u00a0cohabiting with his girlfriend.\u00a0 Nevertheless, the judge granted the divorce\u00a0and ruled that Dad would have no overnight parenting time so long as he was cohabiting with his girlfriend.\u00a0\u00a0The judge’s\u00a0written ruling\u00a0did not cite any specific findings or grounds supporting his decision other than his strongly held personal belief that cohabitation out of wedlock was immoral and improper and that he felt it was harmful to children. \u00a0The judge told my client in no uncertain terms that he would have overnight parenting time with his children once he\u00a0moved out of his girlfriend’s residence\u00a0or married his girlfriend.<\/p>\n

I was shocked by this result, as was my client.\u00a0 My client promptly relieved me of my duties as his attorney, being sure that it was my poor representation of him that resulted in\u00a0the adverse ruling against him.\u00a0 Within approximately one year after the conclusion of my involvement in this case, however, I learned of another case very similar to the one I handled in which the same judge issued a virtually identical ruling to the\u00a0ruling in my case.<\/p>\n

In this second case, the mother, Sara Deane Higgins, was cohabiting with her boyfriend, and the judge ruled that she would have no overnight parenting time with her children until she got her own place or married her boyfriend.\u00a0 Again, the judge made no specific findings supporting his ruling other than citing his personal belief that the cohabitation was harmful to the children.\u00a0 The mother in that case appealed.<\/p>\n

On appeal, the Court of Appeals reversed the trial court’s decision as to child custody and parenting time and remanded the case back to the trial court for a new trial on those issues.\u00a0 See Higgins v. Higgins<\/em>, 194 Ariz. 266, 981 P.2d 134, 140 (Ariz. App. 1999).\u00a0 The Court of Appeals essentially found that\u00a0it was error for the trial court to find that mother’s cohabitation was per se<\/em> contrary to the children’s best interests, and that\u00a0a parent claiming that cohabitation is harmful to children “has the burden of proving it by competent evidence regarding the real-life facts and circumstances of the actual case.”\u00a0 Id.<\/em> at 139.<\/p>\n

It is important to understand that the Higgins<\/em> case does NOT say that cohabitation can never be a factor.\u00a0 In order for cohabitation to be a factor in the court’s decision, however, specific evidence must be presented which convinces the trial judge that the cohabitation is harming the children.\u00a0 For example, if the father in Higgins<\/em> had requested and obtained a custody evaluation by an expert witness psychologist, and if the psychologist had conducted an evaluation and reported\/testified to the court as to the specific detriment the children were experiencing by witnessing mother’s cohabitation (e.g., bed-wetting in mother’s home but not in father’s home, developing stomach problems or acting-out behaviors in mother’s home but not in father’s), perhaps the judge’s decision citing those specific facts would have been upheld.<\/p>\n

It is also important to distinguish Higgins<\/em> from a case in which the new boyfriend or girlfriend is abusing or harming the children.\u00a0 Abuse committed by a parent’s paramour or new spouse is clearly a factor which the court can and should consider in making child custody \/ parenting time decisions and\u00a0has nothing to do with whether the new relationship is a marriage or out-of-wedlock cohabitation.<\/p>\n

In sum, the law in Arizona is that the existence of cohabitation alone is insufficient to support a custody\/parenting time order against the cohabiting parent.\u00a0 There must be more — specific evidence indicating that the cohabitation is harming the children.\u00a0 If such evidence is offered and the trial judge finds it persuasive, the judge\u00a0may<\/em> rule against the cohabiting parent so long as the judge makes specific factual findings supporting her decision.\u00a0\u00a0In practice, however, this rarely occurs.\u00a0 In most cases, a parent’s cohabitation with\u00a0a\u00a0paramour\u00a0has virtually no impact on the court’s child custody\/parenting time orders.<\/p>\n

As a side note, the trial judge who decided Higgins<\/em> and my case described above was the Honorable David Roberts.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Judge Roberts retired shortly after the Higgins<\/em> case went up on appeal.\u00a0 Judge Roberts was a good judge and is a good man, a man of strong moral convictions. \u00a0I occasionally see Judge Roberts around town, \u00a0and I continue to admire and respect him greatly.<\/p>\n
