My child does not want to return to the home of the other parent at the end of my parenting time. Does my child have to go back?
Everyone must follow the court order until the judge changes it. Your court might have a do-it-yourself packet to change parenting time. If not, many courts accept the packet of Maricopa County. These packets explain the steps and include forms. Some courts offer special programs, such as counseling, or require additional steps, such as mediation. If someone is in danger, you can call law enforcement.
