But in the state of Arizona, the law recognizes that sometimes other relatives may be better suited to care for a child. When a parent cannot provide proper care, a grandparent, aunt, uncle, adult sibling, or another relative may petition the court to obtain custody of a child. Arizona law emphasizes the child’s best interest in every custody decision. While courts typically presume that it’s in the best interest of the child to remain with a legal parent, this presumption can be overcome. For relatives considering stepping in, knowing what is legally possible and how to present a strong petition is critical. Whether you are a grandparent stepping in during a crisis or an aunt who’s been the child’s primary caregiver, this audio breaks down how child custody in Arizona works for non-parents. This audio will explain how to obtain custody or visitation rights, what courts look for in third-party custody cases, and how Arizona law protects the best interests of the child in every decision.
