How Does it Work?

Several years ago, the Arizona Legislature eliminated the term “custody” from the family law statutes.  Arizona courts now address “custody” in terms of legal decision making authority for the children and parenting time. Working out an agreement about legal decision making and parenting time can be difficult, especially when there are heightened emotions between parents. Whether you are recently separated and looking to learn the basics of legal decision making and parenting time, or you have an existing decree and need a modification because of changed circumstances, you can use the Moon Law Firm, PLC as a resource.
