How Custody is Handled in Arizona Divorces
Deciding to get a divorce is an extremely difficult decision, and if you have children, they are probably weighing most heavily on your mind at this moment. Custody battles stemming from divorce can have different outcomes in Arizona. At the Law Office of Hope E. Fruchtman in Scottsdale, we have over 20 years of experience helping Arizona clients in your position.

Know Your Options
If you are lost wondering what will happen to your child and how custody will be granted, you are not alone. When clients come into our office, we explain what a judge in Arizona may decide based on your case. There are a variety of possible outcomes, including:
- Sole legal custody
- Joint legal custody
- Sole physical custody (parenting time or visitation rights)
- Joint physical custody (parenting time or visitation rights)
We will discuss your case to determine your goals and then draft a plan to help you accomplish those objectives within the state guidelines and requirements. The state of Arizona requires parents to attend a Parent Information Program class in every divorce and paternity matter involving custody. Information on those classes is available by visiting the Arizona Supreme Court’s page. You can also find information on parenting time plans on the court site.

In addition to child custody issues, we know that our clients going through divorce have other concerns. We are here to also help you with division of marital property and spousal support/alimony if needed.
