Legal Question in Family Law in Arizona

If the father has any court-ordered parenting time and also resides in AZ, then ARS 25-408 controls whether (and in what manner) the mother can relocate. There are certain requirements for advance notice, and a list of factors for the court to consider in the event the other party timely takes action to prevent the relocation. This is an extremely complicated issue, so I recommend you speak with an experienced family law attorney for specific guidance.

Are there Court orders in place? Does Dad exercise regaulr access? I would need to know more. You may need to provide notice, or it may be worthwhile to file a Petition to Allow Relocation.

We can certainly help you consider and then pursue your options for modification. 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.
