TASC, often referenced in Maricopa County family law practice, generally refers to Treatment Assessment Screening Center services. In the family court context TASC is most commonly referenced in connection with substance abuse testing and monitoring.

Courts may order TASC services when substance abuse is alleged or when a parent has a history of substance use that raises safety concerns in the parenting context. TASC can provide drug and alcohol testing, assessment, and referral to treatment programs.

A TASC order typically specifies the frequency of testing, what substances are being tested for, who pays for the testing, and what happens if a test is positive or if the parent fails to test. Failure to test is typically treated the same as a positive result under most court orders.

Confirm current TASC services, procedures, and requirements with your attorney. Programs and their availability change over time. The specific requirements of any TASC order in your case control what is required of you.
