If there was no domestic violence in the relationship and the couple can agree on all the major issues, they may be able to come to fair custody (known in Arizona as Legal Decision-Making and Parenting Time) agreement on their own.

If so, they can present it in family court so the judge can sign off on it. If they can’t agree, the judge will likely order them to try to work out their issues in mediation before letting them bring the issues to trial.

The parents are going to be raising the children together, and it makes sense to try to get them on the same page as far as making decisions together in the best interests of their children.
