Answer: In the State of Arizona, visitation for grandparents is governed by ARS 25-409 (http://www.azleg.gov/FormatDocument.asp?inDoc=/ars/25/00409.htm&Title=25&DocType=ARS). The Maricopa County Superior Court self-service site (http://www.superiorcourt.maricopa.gov/SuperiorCourt/Self-ServiceCenter/Forms/FamilyCourt/fc_group_9.asp) may give a general idea of the forms and process required in Maricopa County. Please contact your local Superior Court (http://www.azcourts.gov/AZCourts/AZCourtsLocator.aspx), as different courts may require different forms and procedures.
