A child can only refuse a court-ordered visitation or custody schedule when they turn 18. Before that time, the court may take into account a child's preference, but it is not required to.
A father is entitled to equal rights in custody, even if he was never married to the mother of the child. More often than not, this means Arizona Courts grant 50/50 custody to the parents of a child. However, there are certain circumstances when fathers may be barred from joint custody.
This amendment further adds that a child who is at least 14 years old must be allowed to directly address the court regarding custody and visitation unless the judge finds that it would not be in the child's best interests, in which case the reasons must be stated on the record.
Go to the Clerk of Superior Court and ask to file a ?Petition to Establish Legal Decision-Making (legal custody), Parenting Time and Child Support.? They will give you a packet of forms which you need to fill out. (This packet is also downloadable online.) File your completed paperwork and pay the required filing fees.
In Arizona, there is no particular age that allows the child to decide the custodial preference. Judges must make case-by-case analyses depending on specific circumstances.
