Child Custody

questions & answers

Question: I have joint legal custody and we have parenting time my child mother is continuously leaving my daughter home by herself while shes at work I keep asking if i can keep my daughter so she's not home alone and her mother keep denying me. Is there anything I can do so my child is not left home alone.

Answer: You do not state how old your child is.  If more than a year has passed since the court entered the custody (legal decision-making) order, you have the right to return to court and file a petition for modification of legal decision-making and parenting time as allowed by A.R.S. Section 25-411.  You can include the information about the child being left alone when you would happily parent the child in mom's absence.  The age of the child may be key in the court's decision making process.
