After visitation has been awarded it is common for many parents to revisit their visitation schedule. Parents lose or change jobs. Children change schools or have needs that are not being met at their current school. Sometimes a parent either refuses to follow the current parent plan or simply stops exercising their parenting time. Often this is associated with abuse of drugs or alcohol. All these factors may make your current schedule unworkable or negatively affect the child.

How do I modify visitation in Arizona?
The Court may modify a visitation in Arizona upon a showing of a “substantial and continuing change in circumstances” or whenever the modification would serve the best interests of the child. If after a parenting time order is in effect a parent is charged with a dangerous crime against a child or an act of domestic violence in which the victim is a child you may be able to petition the court for an “Emergency” or expedited hearing. If you experience such a situation it is important to discuss your case with an experienced phoenix visitation modification lawyer. The Daly Law Firm can protect your rights and will zealously represent you if litigation becomes necessary.
Protect Your Visitation Rights
Although the court may modify an order granting or denying parenting time rights whenever modification would serve the best interest of the child, the court may not restrict a parent's parenting time rights unless it finds that the parenting time would endanger seriously the child's physical, mental, moral or emotional health. If you believe that a parent has wrongfully filed a Petition to limit your visitation the Daly Law Firm can fight for your parental rights.
