What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Arizona

If a child is the subject of a family court custody case and a juvenile dependency case, and one parent is on trial for a non violent crime that involves that child as the victim, which court has superior jurisdiction? Can the criminal court dictate supervised contact with the child(victim) or is it ultimately up to the family court? Ive read that juvenile court has jurisdiction over other state courts, does that include criminal or just the civil courts.

I am going to assume this is about the ongoing issues you have with the ex. You currently have two existing threads regarding this situation and should NOT start another.
