Answer: Depending on the current status is of your marriage and custody of the children from that marriage, you may still have the ability to file or request modifications. Please refer to the articles on “Divorce in Arizona” (http://www.azlawhelp.org/documents/azlawhelp_Divorce.pdf and “Child Custody” http://azlawhelp.org/articles_info.cfm?mc=1&sc=1&articleid=68) for information on the processes involved in each. As it is explained in both articles, petitions can be filed by the individual and there are applications for fee waivers, to reduce or eliminate the costs associated with the filings. Due to the limited information, it is best to contact an attorney directly (http://www.azlawhelp.org/articles_info.cfm?mc=5&sc=36&articleid=151 see what alternatives suit your specific situation.
