THis is in the best interest of my daughter..last week she was just shot at and was all over the Salinas CA. news...she's only 6 yrs and her mother is a Meth addict. yet extremely smart with a good job and will file if I take her! How can I bring her here and fight for her here in AZ?

Re: child custody: CA to AZ
You could file in Arizona and request that Arizona assume "Emergency Jurisdiction". However, any Orders entered may only be temporary, as a Judge could force you to initiate California proceedings (and allow you to keep the child while doing so).
We can absolutely help.
I can explain the procedures better by phone or in person. As you can imagine, there is too much to cover via e'mail. We offer free 1/2 hour consultations, in which we can discuss the matter in more detail.
Please call me directly to discuss the specifics of your case, or contact my assistant Alicia or my paralegal Jennifer to schedule a free 1/2 hour consultation.
