Legal Question in Family Law in Arizona
Child Custody
I have joint legal custody with my daughters. My ex is the custodial parent. My oldest daughter, who is sixteen, wants to move in with me. She is tired of the verbal abuse given her by her stepfather. Can she just move in without her mother's consent?
Thank you,
Kevin

In a general sense, it is not a good idea to change custody without at the same time modifying the underlying custody\visitation court order, and perhaps looking at the child support ramifications. This can be done by written stipulation of the parties.
For a specific opinion regarding your individual circumstances, I suggest that you consult with an experienced family law lawyer. Experience is not expensive, it's priceless!

Re: Child Custody
She COULD, but it is better that you take appropriate legal steps, especially since child support will continue to accrue unless legal steps are taken. If she just goes without COurt Orders, there can be repercussions.
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 Jennifer to schedule a free 1/2 hour consultation. I look forward to talking with you.
