AZ SB1406

Prohibits joint legal decision-making if the court finds significant domestic violence or a significant history of domestic violence under Arizona Revised Statutes section 13-3601.

Requires courts to consider evidence of domestic violence as contrary to the child's best interests, with primary consideration given to the safety and well-being of the child and domestic violence victim.

Police reports may only be considered to determine if domestic violence occurred if other independent evidence is admitted that corroborates the information in the police report.

Creates a rebuttable presumption that awarding sole or joint legal decision-making to a parent who committed domestic violence is contrary to the child's best interests, unless both parents committed acts of domestic violence.

Establishes that in any court proceeding involving determination of a child's best interests, police reports cannot be admitted without testimony from the law enforcement officer who authorized the report, unless other independent corroborating evidence is presented.
