If you’re contemplating changing parenting time in Arizona, various legal and factual factors come into play. Understanding the process and criteria for modifying parenting visitation is essential. A petition for modification can be filed until your child(ren) reach 18, requiring evidence demonstrating that the change is in the children’s best interests.

Guidelines and Considerations for Parenting Time Modification

Modifying parenting time in Arizona involves either an agreement or filing a Petition for Modification of Parenting Time. Successful modification requires demonstrating a significant, ongoing change in circumstances since the custody orders. Arizona law often imposes a one-year waiting period for modifications, but exceptions exist when evidence reveals a threat to the child(ren)’s well-being. A.R.S. §25-411 empowers the court to modify orders, prioritizing the child’s best interests and necessitating a comprehensive process with evidence and opposing perspectives. Judges typically discourage frequent petitions without substantial, ongoing changes in circumstances.

Filing A Petition for Modification Of Parenting Time In Arizona

There are steps that a non-represented party can take to file a petition for modification of parenting time in the State of Arizona.  However, there are other ways to modify beyond filing paperwork.  Collaborative Process offers a way to resolve parenting time and decision-making disputes without involving a court.  However, both people have to agree.  Below are the general steps that can be followed to modify parenting time and legal decision-making.

Step 1 of 1:

The Papers for the Agreement – Instructions and forms to file within Court forms in order to file a petition to alter or change a court custody order for parenting time.

Emergency Petition To Modify Parenting Time or Child Custody

Arizona courts can also award an emergency petition to change parenting time or child custody if one parent or the other brings up accusations that indicate the child(ren) maybe could be harmed. If that does occur, the court has the power to alter or even eliminate the parenting time for that parent until there is a probationary hearing scheduled. At the hearing, each parent can present evidence, testify to the court under oath, and then the court will decide whether to retain the emergency order, change it, or cancel it altogether.

Love this woman, she’s your gas station, your best friend, your number one fan, your best ally and to boot a hell of an attorney. To watch her weave her eloquence is poetry, she commands respect of the courtroom-perhaps your in unfortunate circumstances to bear witness but count your stars you were afforded the service of this firm. She continues to overwhelm my expectations and I’m in no way a novice in this regard, I have certainly amassed a lifetime of exchange in legal trade-An investment worth its weight in gold.

Jennifer Moshier was a fantastic lawyer during my collaborative law divorce. She guided me through the process with empathy and was always available for any questions or concerns that cropped up. She is tenacious and kind and I felt as I was in the best possible hands through a very traumatic time in my life. She’s amazing!

I have known Jennifer for many years. She is very devoted to her practice. She is truly passionate about helping parents avoid the harmful impacts of custody battles.
Outstanding Family Attorney in Collaborative Law Ms. Jennifer Saved our marriage. Her professionalism and genuine desire to help/serve was encouraging to us. She surpassed our expectations in every way!!!! She highly suggested we choose collaborative law and to settle our differences in a peaceful way out of the court system. Which we did. We highly recommend that you use her as she will always look out for the best interest for you and your loved ones. We also highly recommend that you choose to work with collaborative law to have peace, lower the cost and the emotional pain for you and/or your children. We are so glad there are attorneys like Ms. Jennifer and also that collaborative law exists. Thank you Jennifer!! God bless your heart and your practice!!

AZ Lawyer who really helps and cares about Arizona's military population Jennifer is an awesome and well rounded lawyer. She helped me through a custody case that was dragging out in two states (CA & AZ). Luckily for me she is licensed in both states and was instrumental in moving my child custody case to AZ. Jennifer is firm, fair, and consistent in all that she did with my case. I have had to deal with many lawyers during the past seven year child custody battle and Jennifer has been the best and she has become the closer of this very long and drawn out child custody case. Because of her help this case should be closed within the next couple of months because all parties involved have finally come to agreements. A big thank you to Jennifer for all of her help, patience, and understanding during this ordeal!!

A lawyer that fights for you while also doing what is right. Jennifer is a lawyer for a dad like me. I am a law enforcement officer (SGT) and doing the right thing no matter how difficult it is, is most important to me. I have a difficult case which she is doing the right thing and getting results. Jennifer is just that. No smoke and mirrors, just the truth. If you are looking for an experienced lawyer in family law with common sense and strong fight, she's it.

Recommendation for Moshier Law Firm I've been meaning to write this review for quite some time. Jennifer Moshier's professionalism, honesty, and dedication exceeded all expectations while handling my Family Court case. My opponent and her attorney lobbed a number of dishonest, unethical attacks, but Ms. Moshier never wavered, never allowed them to distract her from the relevant issues. They complicated the case enough that I or a lesser attorney would never have been able to navigate the minefield of disinformation they created. Ms. Moshier was always responsive when crises arose, and always treated me like a like a valued client, rather than a set of problems in need of solving. Her instincts, quick-thinking, and legal expertise were spot-on, especially in court. I cannot recommend Moshier Law Firm strongly enough. My family will forever be grateful for her efforts.

The Best Attorney in AZ I was recommended to use Jennifer through a friend of mine who was another Attorney and that Attorney said they had seen Jennifer in Court and she was excellent. They also told me that Jennifer picks the cases she wants to work on and she works as if she is a family member of yours...with all her might. I have been so glad that I chose Ms. Moshier to represent me. She has the personality you want who will fight with all her might for you and she has the passion in her to see your cause and defend it. There are so many Attorney's out there who take your case but then are nearly impossible to get a hold of. Jennifer gives prompt attention to all matters and even has very qualified, knowledgable staff to assist when you have a question. Ms. Moshier is very detailed and remembers even the smallest fact that pertains to your case, while she is very ambitious and authoratative, which are the qualities that make a strong Lawyer. She is very knowledgable and professional which is a quality Judges expect. I can't recommend her enough!

Moshier fought for me... Jennifer was incredible. She worked so hard and knew my case so thoroughly that she was as fluent in the details of my life as I was. I ended up getting what was fair as a father, which was a lot more than my ex wife's atty was telling me I deserved. It was nice to have Jennifer as my shield. I would recommend her to anybody with a difficult case. She will not disappoint.
