Legal Question in Family Law in Arizona

Re: child moving

Yes. He can attempt to prohibit the relocation.

If the move is more than 100 miles, even if not outside the state, you must follow special procedures before you attempt to relocate.

However, even if the move is less than 100 miles, Father can claim that the 2 hour difference creates a substantial change which requires a change in custody or a prohibition against relocation.

You can, of course, fight for the move and argue that the move is in the child's best interests after consideration of all relevant factors.

I can explain the procedures and issues better by phone or in person. There is too much to cover via e'mail (and I am not the greatest typist). 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 Cathy to schedule a free 1/2 hour consultation. I look forward to talking with you.
