behavioral health crisis; temporary orders

Summary

The measure revises Arizona’s child‑custody statutes to require courts to consider additional mental‑health and safety factors when setting legal decision‑making and parenting time. It creates a new section that obligates a parent who is involuntarily or voluntarily committed for a behavioral health crisis to promptly notify the other parent, and it mandates court reporting to the Judicial Conduct Commission if a child is seriously harmed after a change to unsupervised parenting time without required assessments. Parenting plans must now include procedures for crisis notification, temporary orders, and expedited hearings.
