IN THE ARIZONA COURT OF APPEALS DIVISION ONE JENNIFER MAY VAN ZILEN, Petitioner/Appellee, v. JEFFREY ROBERT BOUSE, Respondent/Appellant. No. 1 CA-CV 20-0344 FC FILED 11-16-2021 Appeal from the Superior Court in Yavapai County No. P1300DO201200859 The Honorable Joseph P. Goldstein, Judge pro tempore VACATED IN PART AND REMANDED COUNSEL Margaret Perlmeter, Phoenix Counsel for Petitioner/Appellee Jeffrey R. Bouse Respondent/Appellant MEMORANDUM DECISION Judge Paul J. McMurdie delivered the Court’s decision, in which Presiding Judge Peter B. Swann and Judge David D. Weinzweig joined. VAN ZILEN v. BOUSE Decision of the Court M c M U R D I E, Judge: ¶1 Respondent Jeffrey Bouse (“Father”) appeals from the superior court’s order modifying his parenting time.

She asked for sole legal decision-making and that Father’s parenting time be restricted to only supervised parenting time. She asserted that Father was awaiting trial on charges for driving under the influence, a crime for which he had been convicted on two prior occasions. She also stated that one of the children had gotten sick during the night during a recent visit, and the children could not wake Father, who was sleeping in his locked bedroom.
