When the Arizona Rules of Evidence do not apply, all relevant evidence is admissible, except the court may exclude any relevant evidence if its probative value is outweighed by a danger of one or more of the following: unfair prejudice, confusing the issues, misleading the jury, undue delay, wasting time, needlessly presenting cumulative evidence, or lack of reliability.(b)Non-Probate Proceedings.
