Frequently Asked Questions
Under A.R.S. § 25-403, Arizona courts consider: the child's relationship with each parent, each parent's past and potential future compliance with parenting time, whether a parent has committed domestic violence or child abuse, the child's adjustment to home and school, the mental and physical health of all parties, and the child's wishes (given the child's age and maturity). A Estrella Mountain Ranch child custody attorney can present your case in the best possible light.
Relocating with a child subject to an Arizona parenting plan requires 45 days' advance written notice to the other parent under A.R.S. § 25-408. If the other parent objects, you must obtain court approval. The court applies the best-interests standard and considers the reason for relocation, impact on the child, and whether parenting time can be restructured. A Estrella Mountain Ranch child custody attorney is essential for relocation cases.
To modify a custody order in Arizona under A.R.S. § 25-411, you must show a substantial and continuing change in circumstances since the last order. One year must pass before most modifications, except in cases involving domestic violence or endangerment. A Estrella Mountain Ranch family law attorney can assess whether your circumstances qualify for modification and file the appropriate petition in Maricopa County Superior Court.
