parenting time; expert testimony; qualifications
HB 2923 modifies Arizona family court procedures for parenting time disputes involving alleged domestic violence or abuse. It requires courts to admit expert witness testimony only from professionals with specific clinical experience helping domestic violence victims (not just forensic expertise), and limits such testimony to scientifically validated methods. The bill explicitly prohibits using polygraph results, voice-stress analysis, or other unproven psychological measures in these cases. This affects parents, courts, and experts in custody proceedings where domestic violence allegations are raised under Arizona law.
