Legislation passed in 2002, A.R.S.§ 25-323.02, created the Domestic Relations Committee (“Committee”) of the Arizona State Legislature.  The Committee is comprised of 31 members representing the legislature, legal community, law enforcement field, parents, mental health field, domestic violence and children advocacy agencies, and faith-based organizations.  A member of the state Senate and a member of the House of Representatives share chairmanship of the Committee and staff support is provided by the Administrative Office of the Courts.

The Committee is a forum for all system stakeholders to develop and coordinate policies and strategies to improve domestic relations law.  To that end, the Committee actively explores new concepts for improving the system, with Committee deliberations resulting in recommended legislative changes to domestic relations statutes, rules and procedures.
