Anonymized Case Name: M.M. v. B.W.

Party Represented by TVLG: B.W.

Papel del cliente en el litigio: padre

Tribunal: Maricopa

Date Resolved: September 4, 2026

Resultado:

In this establishment matter, the parties previously reached agreements concerning temporary parenting time, which the Court adopted as a temporary order. Shortly thereafter, Mother withheld the child from Father during his court-ordered parenting time, claiming that Father’s living arrangements were unsafe. Father filed a request to enforce the temporary parenting-time order. Following a contested evidentiary hearing, the Court found that Mother had violated the temporary order, held her in contempt of court, and awarded Father make-up parenting time and attorney’s fees.

Antecedentes y datos clave:

Shortly after entry of the temporary orders, Father exercised his initial parenting time with the child. For that first visit only, Mother was permitted to remain present for a designated period. During the visit, Mother photographed Father’s residence. Following the visit, Mother relied on those photographs to assert that Father’s home was unsuitable for the child to have future parenting time there.

CASO / Estrategia:

After receiving Mother’s claims that his home was unsafe, Father contacted the appropriate agencies and arranged for an inspection of his residence. The resulting reports concluded that Father’s home was safe and appropriate for the child. Father introduced the report into evidence at the contested hearing. The Court relied on that evidence, among other evidence presented, in finding Mother in contempt for violating the temporary parenting-time order.

Repercusión en el cliente:

Father is now more likely to be able to exercise his court-ordered parenting time without interruption or interference from Mother. The Court’s findings also support Father’s position that he is the parent more likely to permit frequent, meaningful, and continuing contact between the child and the other parent.

Por qué es importante esta victoria:

Through the Court’s decision, Father secured make-up parenting time and obtained accountability for Mother’s unilateral decision to withhold his court-ordered parenting time. The Court also awarded attorney’s fees against Mother. Father contends that the contempt finding, the make-up parenting time, and the attorney’s-fee award, together with the Court’s other findings, will deter similar conduct in the future. These remedies more adequately protect Father’s ability to exercise parenting time without interference, consistent with the Court’s orders.
