You need to file a motion to modify both the custody and the support. I don't understand the question "Can she legally take the child that is suppose to be with her"? She can take the child consistent with the current court order. I would suggest that you retain an family law attorney who practices in the county of the court of the current court order.

You have to go back to the court that issued the existing order and get it modified. Also, if the original order was in California and she did not get an order allowing her to move to AZ, she is in contempt of court.
