Parent Relocation

Under Arizona law, parents must petition the court to move a child out of state or more than one hundred miles from a non-custodial parent with court ordered parenting time. When seeking to move a child, the court must consider what is in the best interest of the child. The parent seeking to relocate must prove that their situation is in the best interest of the child. Parent relocation cases often become extremely complicated and bitter. Our attorneys work with our clients to address the best interests of their children.

Long Distance Parenting Time

Arizona is a signatory to the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction Enforcement Act (UCCJEA), which requires State courts to enforce valid child-custody and visitation determinations made by other State courts. This means that the parenting time ruling made by Arizona courts are enforceable even if the custodial parent moves out of state. Often the Arizona courts will issue a post-divorce modification of a parenting time order in an effort to establish a long distance parenting time order.
