When you’re going through a custody case, every part of your history and behavior can come into play—and a DUI conviction is no exception. Family court judges in Arizona are tasked with making custody decisions based on what’s in the best interests of the child. That means they may consider your past or current criminal history, especially when it relates to behavior that could put a child’s safety at risk.
Whether your DUI happened years ago or during the middle of a contested divorce, it’s important to understand how Arizona courts are likely to interpret it. Will a single DUI automatically mean you lose custody? Not necessarily. But if the court sees a pattern of unsafe choices, or if the DUI involved your child or excessive impairment, it could significantly affect your parenting time or decision-making rights.
In this audio, we’ll walk through how family courts evaluate DUI convictions, what the Arizona statutes say, and what actions you can take to protect your parental rights. You’ll also learn how the attorneys at Colburn Hintze Maletta (CHM Law) can help you manage both your family law and criminal defense matters with a strategic, coordinated approach.
