Arizona HB2124 mandates court findings on parental alienation in custody and parenting time cases.

Arizona HB2124 requires courts to make specific findings when determining legal decision-making or parenting time. If parental alienation is found, the court must identify the alienating behaviors of the favored parent and explain how these behaviors contributed to the child's rejection of the nonfavored parent. The court cannot find parental alienation if the favored parent proves a reasonable cause for the child's rejection. The bill defines "parental alienation" as intentional or reckless conduct by a favored parent causing the child to reject the nonfavored parent without justification.
