In re termination of parental rights (HK)
Arizona Court of Appeals, Division One · Arizona · Feb 25, 2026
False Quotes: Case Law | Mother cited JS-501568, 177 Ariz. at 577, attributing multiple sentences the court could not find, including 'a parent's ability to maintain a relationship must be judged by what they do, not what another parent does or does not do' and 'minimal efforts do not preclude abandonment ... sporadic or infrequent contact is not normal parental contact.' The court concluded these quotes are not in that opinion. || Fabricated: Legal Norm | Mother's brief quoted A.R.S. § 8-531(1) as stating: '[a]bandonment is measured by a parent's conduct, not the parent's subjective intent.' The court found this quoted statutory language does not appear in § 8-531(1). || Fabricated: Legal Norm | Mother's brief attributed language to A.R.S. § 8-533(B)(1) stating abandonment is established when a parent has failed to maintain a normal parental relationship 'without just cause.' The court found the statute does not contain the quoted phrasing. || False Quotes: Case Law | Mother's brief attributed a non-existent quote to Raymond F. v. Dep't of Econ. Sec., 224 Ariz. 373, 378, ¶ 21 (App. 2010): '[a] parent who creates barriers to contact through substance abuse cannot claim just cause…

Washburn v. Houston
Arizona Court of Appeals, Division One · Arizona · Jan 2, 2026
Appellant Father's counsel submitted an opening brief containing misleading/inaccurate legal citations, mischaracterized case law, fabricated quotations attributed to Owen v. Blackhawk, and false quotations purportedly from the amended decree and hearing transcripts. The appellate court identified these errors, concluded they supported a potential ethics referral, and forwarded the decision to the State Bar for review.

Pineda v. Campos
Arizona Court of Appeals, Division One · Arizona · Aug 7, 2025
The appellate court found Husband's counsel made multiple misleading or incorrect citations and attributed quotations to cases that do not contain them. The court noted some citations used incorrect reporters that pointed to unrelated decisions, concluded the cited authorities did not support counsel's propositions (and in some instances contradicted them), forwarded the decision to the State Bar for possible ethical violations, and awarded costs to the prevailing party.
