As circumstances change, parents may need to move to a different location in Arizona or relocate to a different state for a new job, to attend school or some other reason. Parents who need to move usually want their children to move with them. These can be complicated, emotional cases that are typically highly contested.

Arizona has strict notification requirements before a parent may consider moving away with a child. If you are considering moving away with your child, or if you are the parent of a child who is being moved with their other parent, it is imperative that you consult with an experienced attorney early in the process.

The court will consider many factors when determining whether it is in the best interest of the child to move with the relocating parent. Some of those factors include the prospective advantage of the move for the parent or child, whether the move will allow a realistic opportunity for parenting time and how moving may affect the child’s stability.

Relocating with children involves both emotional and legal complexities that are different from many standard family disputes.
