Question: If my parents are divorced, can my mom put me in foster care w/o dad's permission?
Answer: In Arizona a child goes to foster care when he or she is abandoned
or abused. If your mother has custody and cannot care for you, your father
should seek custody. The court will prefer a parent over a stranger if a
parent is available and can care for the child.
The determination will not be whether your father give
permission. It is whether there is an alternative to foster care that is
better for you. The court must make orders that are in your best
interests, taking everything into consideration.

It isn't always better to be in foster care. I should know cause i'm in it. Foster parents are not necessarily better. I want to live with my Mom but the court won't let her have me and i can't see any reason why. My guardian is way worse and my mom didn't do anything.

I DONT BELIVE YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO PUT A CHILD IN FOSTER CARE W/O THE OTHERS PERMISSION IF THE CHILD WILL LISTEN TO THE OTHER PARENT AND ITS JUST YOUR FAULT THEN YOU SHOULD GIVE THE CHILD TO THE OTHER PARENT
