In Arizona, “Consent Guardianship” allows parents to give legal authority over a child to a non-parent adult through their written consent, to become the legal guardian of a child. This method also allows immediate withdrawal of the consent and Guardianship authority.
How Can I Get Sole Child Custody of My Kids In Arizona? 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. Serve the papers to the other parent.
Child custody cases in Arizona can take three months to a year to conclude because of the many things that influence the case. It can take longer than that if both parents do not discuss an agreement.
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.
How Long Does it Take to Get Guardianship? The length of guardianship proceedings vary case to case. If nobody contests the guardianship or the petitioner's appointment, it may only take 1 – 2 months. If there are complications, it could take 3 – 4 months.
