FAQ - Legal Decision Making and Parenting Time (Custody)

In the fall of 2024, the Arizona Department of Child Safety (DCS) mailed letters to parents who once had an open dependency and/or severance case.

Did you receive a letter? Visit the DCS letter page for more information.

I want to see my child more than the court order allows. How do I get more time with my child?

Your court might have a do-it-yourself packet to change parenting time. If not, many courts accept the packet of Maricopa County. Modification of parenting time may involve complicated issues and you may want to seek the help of an attorney.
