Child Custody And Schooling

Summary

In Arizona, courts prioritize the childs best interests in custody cases. Rehab may impact but not necessarily harm custody. Mediation is often required for schooling disputes. If mediation fails, a court may decide. Your daughter should consider consulting her attorney about the possibility of requesting a court decision on this specific issue. If a judge avoids making a decision, it typically means they believe the parties should resolve the issue themselves. Your daughter may need to file a motion for the court to intervene directly if mediation isnt working. Pro bono legal assistance is available through organizations like Community Legal Services and the Volunteer Lawyers Program.

Hello ****, in Arizona:
- Courts consider the best interests of the child in custody cases.
- Rehab may affect custody decision but not always negatively.
- The father can petition for custody but must prove it's in the child's best interest.
Please consult a family law attorney for personalized advice.
Also my granddaughter with kindergarten in * but they can't decide on a school for her to attend which he has missed her first grade experience. It's on the court over at several times but the judge won't make a decision for them and just made the order that they would go to mediation which my daughter has done but still there's no decision on school
In Arizona, if parents can't agree on issues like schooling, mediation is often ordered. If mediation fails, a court may decide. Your daughter should consider consulting her attorney about the possibility of requesting a court decision on this specific issue.
She asked for court decision but the judge just didn't give her any different answers
In Arizona, if a judge avoids making a decision, it typically means they believe the parties should resolve the issue themselves. Your daughter may need to file a motion for the court to intervene directly if mediation isn't working. Again, consulting a family law attorney would be beneficial.
Thank you
