How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

concluding the failure to make findings required by A.R.S. § 25-403(B) constitutes legal error
declining to find waiver because the most important issue in custody disputes is a child’s best interests
explaining the requirement for findings on the record is to provide a baseline for “any future petitions by either party based on ‘changed circumstances”’
noting the inadequacy of a family court’s conclusion that it was in child’s best interest that mother retain custody without explaining why or which factors influenced its decision
noting no law “has created an unalterable rule mandating waiver in all instances” and finding mechanically applying waiver principles in this setting prevents development “of the baseline information required for future petitions involving a child or children’s best interests”
explaining the requirement for specific findings exists not only to aid an appellant and the reviewing court but also to aid all parties and the family court in determining the best interests of the children both currently and in the future
