Legal Question in Family Law in Arizona
My ex and I have joint custody of our 2 children. They resided with me for most of their life, without court orders, they currently reside with him because they were in California (where our orders are) for longer than 6 months because he took them from AZ for a visit, hid them from me, and wouldn't return them. Now he has moved to Montana, I reside in Arizona, I always have. Since we have no upcoming court hearings in CA, he hasn't filed anything in MT, and the girls were born in AZ, am I able to file for custody and support in AZ and try to get my children back.

Perhaps. But since they are not here, he could also try to get it moved to Montana. How long have they been there?
We can certainly help you consider and then pursue your options. This is obviously a very important matter, and you should not go in alone.
One of our attorneys can explain the issues and procedures better in person. As you can imagine, there is too much to cover via email. We offer free 1/2 hour consultations, in which we can discuss your matter in detail.
Please call us directly to discuss the specifics of your matter, or contact my assistant Alicia or my paralegal Jennifer to schedule your free 1/2 hour consultation.
