TO: MONIQUE PEREZ, and RAPHAEL PEREZ, parents and/or guardians of the above-named children.
1. PEARL E. LUCERO, grandmother to the above-named children, has filed a Dependency Petition.
2. The Court has set a Continued Initial Dependency Hearing on OCTOBER 28, 2025 at 11:00 AM, and a Publication Hearing on DECEMBER 10, 2025 at 11:00 AM, at the Maricopa County Superior Court, 3131 W. Durango Street, Phoenix, Arizona 85009, call-in number (917) 781-4590, Teams code: 287-752-075 #, https://tinyurl.com/jbazmc-JUJ02, before the Honorable Justin Beresky, for the purpose of determining whether any parent or guardian named herein is contesting the allegations in the petition.
3. You and your child are entitled to have an attorney present at the hearing. You may hire your own attorney or, if you cannot afford an attorney and want to be represented by an attorney, one may be appointed by the court.
4. You have a right to appear as a party in this proceeding. You are advised that your failure to personally appear in court at the initial hearing, pretrial conference, status conference, or dependency adjudication, without good cause shown, may result in a finding that you have waived your legal rights and have admitted the allegations in the Petition. In addition, if you fail to appear, without good cause, the hearing may go forward in your absence and may result in an adjudication of dependency, termination of your parental rights, or the establishment of a permanent guardianship based upon the record and the evidence presented to the court, as well as an order of paternity, custody, or change of custody in a consolidated family law matter and an order for child support if paternity has been established.
5. If you are receiving this Notice by publication, you may obtain a copy of the Dependency Petition and Notice of Hearing by submitting a written request to: Alison M. Botta, Office of the Legal Advocate, 222 N. Central Ave. Ste. 154, Phoenix, Arizona, 85004.
