The following is general information. To find out how the law applies to your specific situation, contact an attorney directly.

In Arizona, paternity, child custody and parenting time are decided by the Superior Court. The laws relating to paternity can be found in Title 25, starting with A.R.S. § 25-801. Laws relating to child custody and visitation start at A.R.S. § 25-401. Additional information and forms can be found through the local Superior Court's website or law library.
