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.

If parents have joint legal decision making, do both parents enjoy equal amounts of parenting time?

Not necessarily. The court may order joint legal decision making without ordering equal parenting time.
