Third party rights are when a non-parent is seeking legal decision-making authority or visitation with a child.  To see if your situation is appropriate for the filing of a new third-party rights case – or to see if it is appropriate to intervene in an existing case, review ARS 25-409 by clicking here.

Are the parental rights suspended or terminated by 1) consent in notarized document, 2) court order, or 3) death?

Are you requesting visitation with a child AND 1) one parent is deceased, or 2) the child was born out of wedlock and parents are not married currently, or 3) parents are divorced and you are a grandparent, or 4) you stand in place of a parent and a divorce is filed.
