Legal Question in Family Law in Arizona

I am looking to relocate with my children. But have the 100 mile relocation rule in my decree. What I cannot find anywhere is what that specifically means. Is it 100 miles old city to new city. 100 miles from fathers residence to new city, or what? My ex and I currently live 10 miles from each other. Three months ago he lived 55 miles away and moved closer. I am trying to define these boundaries for where I am looking to move is right at about 100 miles. But due to the 60 day notice I am to give I obviously do not have an exact address to my new residence but only a city. Also do I only give him notice or send copy to court also? Unfortunately, nothing I have found is very detailed, my ex is not the nicest and I need to have all my ducks in a row.

If you want to proceed cautiously, you could go ahead and give him notice. Even if you do not give him notice, the move is likely to require a modification to the current orders, since whatever access dad has is now going to require a 200 mile round trip.

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 Gina or my paralegal Jennifer to schedule your free 1/2 hour consultation.
