    printer friendly version

    Question: My parents are divorced with joint custody but I really don't want to spend very much time with my father. How are custody issues decided?

    Answer: In divorce cases the judge makes custody decisions based on what he or she considers to be best for the children. Changes in custody agreements are made only after the parents have formally requested a change and demonstrated that the change is best for the child. (A.R.S. § 25-403).

    My parents have been seperated for 5 years now, and i go back and forth every other day and i love it. But my mom makes my dad pay her child support and if he misses a week she doesn't let us see him. And my dad makes alot less money than my mom does.
