This is because, under California law, child custody is something that must be ordered by a court with jurisdiction over the children involved. Thus, any custody determinations in California must inherently go through the court system.
Arizona courts consider factors such as the child's needs, parental involvement, and each parent's ability to provide a nurturing environment when determining custody arrangements. This information is often outlined in a parenting plan to ensure the child's well-being and development.
