Supervised visitation at the Maricopa County Superior Court
In Maricopa County, legal decision-making and parenting time cases go to the Superior Court of Arizona in Maricopa County (Family Department).
How supervised visitation works here
- Maricopa's Family Department hears legal decision-making and parenting time cases, Arizona's terms for custody and visitation.
- The court's parenting time forms let you name a proposed supervisor. The court does not supply one.
- The judge's order can assign supervision costs to one parent or split them equally.
- In domestic violence cases, A.R.S. § 25-403.03 lets the court choose an agency or a layperson to supervise, but never the victim.
