Question: My ex-husband wants to give up all rights to our three-year old daughter. How do I start this process and where do I obtain the necessary paperwork so that I can have sole custody of my daughter?

Answer:

AZLawHelp discusses how a court’s custody order may be changed. It states that either parent may request in writing that the court modify a custody order. This request must be filed with the Clerk of the Superior Court of the county. This section provides additional helpful information regarding a change of custody order.
