Legal Question in Family Law in Arizona

If your spouse is hiding somewhere then you should call the police. If you know where she is, and she lived here previously with the kids, you should immediately file a petition and ask the court to order her to return the children to Arizona. Do not sit on this. You might want to consult with an experienced lawyer to make sure you understand your rights.
You can and should immediately file a Petition to ask for their return if you believe such to be in their best interests. If you do not object to the relocation, you can and should at least file a Petition seeking appropriate long-distance parenting time.
Do not wait, or else a Judge might question your level of interest in the children.
We can certainly help you consider and then pursue your options.
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.
