Bill > HB2664

This bill modifies existing Arizona law concerning temporary orders in legal decision-making and parenting time cases, which refers to the rights and responsibilities parents have regarding their children and the schedule for when each parent spends time with the child. Specifically, it introduces a requirement for courts to reevaluate any temporary order within six months of its issuance and to hold an evidentiary hearing, where evidence is presented and examined, if either parent requests it, to determine if the current temporary order or a modification is in the child's best interest. The bill also amends provisions related to hearings for temporary orders, mandating that courts hold an evidentiary hearing within sixty days of a motion for a temporary order being filed, unless certain exceptions apply, and requires the court to make specific factual findings on the record when issuing a temporary order, addressing the factors considered for the child's best interests, and allocates a minimum of 120 minutes for such evidentiary hearings.
