SB1330

Family court; right to jury

Chamber Passed·2/27/26

SB1330 grants parents with less than 35% parenting time or no legal decision-making authority the right to request a jury trial in family court.

SB1330 amends Arizona law to allow parents who have been awarded less than 35% parenting time or no legal decision-making authority to request a jury trial in family court. The jury must make specific findings on the record, considering factors prescribed in section 25-403, subsection a, and the child's birthdays. The jury's verdict must be in the best interests of the child. The request for a jury trial takes priority over other civil cases.
