Legal Question in Family Law in Arizona

A visit and moving are two different things. If mom and grandparents want to take him on a weeklong visit to New York, they can. If it extends past the court-ordered visitation time, they would be in trouble. If they didn't return the child to Arizona at that time, they would be in trouble. Moving a child out of state requires notice to the other parent and, if they object, then the court must be notified and will make a determination of what is in the best interests of the child as well as the parents.

You can demand assurances ahead of time. If there are no restrictions in the documents, and she allows this on her time only, you may need to seek a modification to your current orders to prevent such.

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