A parenting plan is required in every Arizona divorce or custody case involving children. This plan establishes how parents will share legal decision-making and parenting time.
Legal Decision-Making – Joint (shared) or sole authority over major decisions like education, healthcare, and religion.
Parenting Time – Detailed schedules for weekdays, weekends, holidays, and vacations.
Communication – How parents will communicate with each other and with the child.
Transportation – Rules for exchanges between households.
Dispute Resolution – A process for resolving future disagreements.
Arizona law requires that parenting plans serve the child’s best interests, considering:
The child’s relationship with each parent
Stability and continuity in the child’s life
Parents’ ability to cooperate
History of domestic violence or substance abuse
A strong, detailed parenting plan reduces conflict, provides stability, and helps children adjust more smoothly to changes.
