    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 don't have joint custody.i really don't see dad as much as my mom. and i'm closer to her than him.i love them both and i like both their houses. but they don't get along and they argue over me all the time.i think it should be joint custody but i know my mom would get really upset.i mean it'd be fair and equal time. so maybe they'd get along better.but when i came home yesterday she got upset cause i didnt mind staying at my dads for spring break.and i feel like me and my mom are far apart now...
