parenting time; both parents

HB 2718 amends Arizona law to establish a presumption that it is in a child's best interest to have substantial, frequent, meaningful, and continuing parenting time with both parents, as well as both parents' participation in major decisions about the child. This policy change directly affects parents involved in custody disputes and Arizona courts deciding child custody cases. The bill requires courts to apply this presumption unless evidence shows otherwise, shifting the default standard in custody rulings. It does not alter divorce procedures but changes how courts evaluate parenting arrangements under Arizona Revised Statutes §25-103.
