Trying to find out if a person convicted of cauto theft, drug offenses, domestic violence, forceable entry can sue for custody of minor child in Arizona

Yes. Anyone can sue anyone else for anything. Any established parent has the right to ask the court to evaluate if and at what level custody or visitation is appropriate and to further ask the court to issue an order spelling out any rights the court might deem appropriate. Suing doesn't mean WINNING, however. If custody would actually be ordered depends on a great number of factors, none of which are available to us to evaluate.

While pointers can be helpful, ultimately the number one lesson in any legal action is: don't take legal advice from books, family, friends, co-workers, police officers, grocery clerks, web sites, or people on legal message boards. The only person who can give YOU legal advice is YOUR attorney.
