Child safety guides limits on abusive parents
In Arizona parenting cases involving domestic violence, child safety controls decisions, and the victim's safety is a primary concern. Judges may deny joint decision-making and unsupervised visits after finding significant domestic violence or, more likely than not, a significant history. Judges must weigh the acts' seriousness, frequency, timing, and impact. Significant violence includes threatened or actual injury or emotional trauma, weapon intimidation, and patterns of control, isolation, or threats forcing compliance. A parent who abused the other parent faces a presumption against sole or joint decision-making. Completing one violence-treatment program, substance counseling program, or parenting class alone cannot prove rehabilitation or overcome that presumption.
More victim protection, stricter release rules
For bailable domestic-violence charges, judges must consider any risk or lethality assessment presented when setting bail or release terms. For domestic-violence felony charges involving physical harm to another person, release on bail or a promise to appear requires safeguards. Judges must bar contact with the victim and require electronic monitoring where available. These requirements do not set a bail amount or themselves require defendants to pay monitoring fees.
Victims gain access to defendants' identifying information
After a protection-order hearing, an Arizona judge may require a defendant to share home, work, or vehicle information with the plaintiff. The defendant must have a history of harming the plaintiff. The judge must also find reasonable cause to expect physical harm without that information.
