Child Custody And Placement

Summary

In Arizona, when a childs guardian is unable to care for them, the state prioritizes placing the child with relatives before considering foster care. If relatives in Washington are willing to take the child, they must undergo a home study and meet specific requirements. During this process, the child may temporarily stay with another relative, family friend, or in foster care. The courts primary concern is the childs best interests, aiming to keep siblings together whenever possible. If a relative, like an uncle, seeks custody or adoption, they may need to attend court in Arizona. The process can take several months, and the court ensures a safe and stable environment for the child. Legal assistance may be available, often with free initial consultations or contingency arrangements.
