AZ SB1091

Replaces the term "custody" with "legal decision-making" throughout Arizona's domestic relations statutes to clarify parental rights and responsibilities.

Establishes a presumption that it is in a child's best interest to have substantial, frequent, meaningful and continuing parenting time with both parents and for both parents to participate in legal decision-making.

Makes conforming changes to domestic relations procedures, including modifications to petition titles, separation agreements, temporary orders, and investigations to reflect the new "legal decision-making" terminology.

Updates provisions related to domestic violence to prevent joint legal decision-making when significant domestic violence is found, with specific rebuttable presumptions and protective conditions for parenting time.

Removes outdated language regarding mandatory reporting deadlines (such as "Beginning July 1, 2011") and makes minor grammatical corrections throughout the family law code.
