Question: Can you file a motion for visitation without an attorney? My son was not married to his girlfriend they had a child they broke up and she has the child. She will not let my son see the child instead will take him to her parents and let him spend the weekend.

Answer: Yes. The Arizona courts provide forms and instructions so that people can handle such problems on their own. You will need to access the Superior Court website, and click on the self-help center. There you will find a list of categories like: probate, tax law, civil, and family law. Click on the family law icon and look for the form and instructions for modification of parenting time. Visitation is now referred to as parenting time. There will be detailed instructions on how to prepare, file and serve the paperwork on your ex. The website you need is: www.azcourts.gov.
