Important Facts About Child Custody and Visitation

The law makes a distinction between legal custody and physical custody. Legal custody is the power to make important decisions concerning a child's welfare, including health care, education, and religious upbringing. Primary physical custody generally determines where the child lives most of the time.

In most cases, courts in Arizona favor joint legal custody, in which both parents have a voice in these important decisions. In some cases they may also award primary physical custody to one parent, with visitation rights granted to the other parent.

Alternative arrangements are possible however. The Court will not make these decisions based on traditional gender roles — rather it will always decide in favor of what it calls the "best interest of the child".
