    Study Notes

    Termination of Parent-Child Relationship

    • A court order terminating the parent-child relationship removes all legal rights, privileges, duties, and obligations between the parent and child.
    • Exceptions exist: the child retains the right to inherit and receive support from the parent.
    • This right to inherit and receive support is only terminated by a final adoption order.

    • Peace officers have immunity from lawsuits for arrests made with probable cause.
    • Valid protection orders from other states, territories, or tribes are enforced in Arizona as long as valid.
    • "Victim notification system" is defined.

    Premarital Agreements

    • Premarital agreements must be in writing and signed by both parties, are enforceable without consideration.
    • Agreements become effective upon marriage.
    • Agreements are unenforceable if a party proves:
      • They did not execute the agreement voluntarily.
      • The agreement was unconscionable when executed. This occurs if the party:
        • Did not receive fair and reasonable disclosure of the other party's property or finances.
        • Did not voluntarily and expressly waive, in writing, any right to disclosure beyond what was provided.
        • Did not have, or reasonably could not have had, adequate knowledge of the other party's property or finances.
    • If a premarital agreement modifies or eliminates spousal support and the modification/elimination makes one party eligible for public assistance, a court may require the other party to provide support.
    • Unconscionability is determined by the court, as a matter of law.
    • If a marriage is deemed void, the agreement is enforceable only to avoid inequitable results.
