Child Custody

questions & answers

Question: Is it Arizona law that neither parent with respect to a divorce, can not move more than 100 miles from the other if joint custody.....even if one parent is the primary parent?

Answer: Arizona Revised Statutes, section 25-408 states:  " . . .at least forty-five days advance written notice shall be provided to the other parent before a parent may do either of the following:  1.  Relocate the child outside the state;  2.  Relocate the child more than one hundred miles within the state."  If you plan to relocate more than 100 miles, you must comply with the statute.  The statute goes on to say that the notice must be by certified mail, return receipt requested.  The other parent then has the right to file a petition with the court to oppose the move.
