Arizona HB4003 protects parents from liability for good faith allegations of domestic violence or abuse in family court proceedings.

Arizona HB4003 amends family court proceedings to protect parents from liability for making allegations of domestic violence or abuse in good faith. A parent is not liable if the allegation was made to protect a child or another vulnerable party, and the parent reasonably believed the allegation to be true. The bill also imposes sanctions on attorneys who knowingly submit false allegations, including monetary sanctions, referral to the state bar, and mandatory training.
