SB1656

SB 1656 amends family court procedures in Arizona, detailing requirements for professional personnel appointments and parental rights.

SB 1656 amends section 25-405 of the Arizona Revised Statutes to outline procedures for family court cases involving professional personnel. The court must provide parents with written notice detailing the professional personnel's scope of appointment, duties, and fees. Parents can object to the appointment and request clarification. The court must also inform parents that it is not required to understand the professional conduct requirements of the appointed personnel. Parents can record interactions with the personnel and file complaints with the personnel's licensing agency.
