Legal Question in Family Law in Arizona
My ex wife has custody of my daughter and I have court ordered visitation. She has sent my daughter to live with her parents in Washington state without any notice to me or the court. I did not and do not agree to this. I have been denied any rights as a parent and the custody papers clearly state that they can not move more than 50 miles away without permission of the court. What do I do? Is this a criminal matter or do I need to go through the process of modifying custody through the family court which could take months if not longer?
1 Answer from Attorneys
Under the limited circumstances you described, you may need to file a Petition to Prevent Relocation, asking the court to order that your daughter return to Arizona, and for whatever other relief is appropriate under the circumstances. I recommend you contact an attorney to discuss this matter in greater detail. We offer a free initial consultation and can speak with you to help you determine your best course of action.
