No statute states that. A statute states that each parent is entitled to the child's medical and educational records. ARS 25-403.06.

Who pays child support currently is unrelated to whether arrears are owed.
Be aware the current child support remains in effect until you go to Court to modify it. At that point, child support is determined by a calculation.
No abuse or harassment no police were involved

No, they will not get in trouble. The only person restrained by the order is you. Therefore, you are the only person who can be arrested and charged with a crime for violating it.
Live in Phoenix AZ and would like to relocate to Green Bay WI to be with family with my 3 month old. Can I relocate without the fathers permission? We have never been married nor separated, are only dating and each file as single.

There's a case on point. The facts of which almost mirror yours. Father and Mother were never married. When the child was two months old, the mother moved to Wisconsin. The Court in Arizona ordered her to return, saying she needed the father's permission. See Gutierrez v. Fox, 394 P.3d... View More
Proof I was served. She was served first. Should I respond to her county even tho orders were placed in my county where I and the child reside and I have temp custody.?
answered on Sep 13, 2022
I'd file a Motion to Dismiss in her county. You'll file under ARFLP Rule 29(b)(6), saying she requested relief that cannot be granted because a proceeding has already been commenced in your county, and service has occurred there.
Make sure you write that are "specially appearing."
I am only requesting a small schedule change to take my 3 year old son to a major life event she is obstructing. What course can I take. This divorce has gotten very high conflict.
answered on Sep 8, 2022
If the divorce is still pending, the Preliminary Injunction is still in place. This means you'll need to either get the other parent's permission to travel out of state or you will need to seek a court order to permit the travel. If the latter, you will need to file a Motion to Travel out... View More
She was probably served through the courts with the last address she left on file

Courts usually don't do the serving at least not if you got custody through the Arizona family court. That's usually your responsibility.
But the bigger issue is to find her and your son. If Internet and social media searches aren't working, then you should hire a private... View More
There are two reasons I'm asking, cause I'm definitely going to try one of them. I've had my kids all of the first year of life and most of the time, up until the 26 of last month. Now I only get them the 1st 2nd and last weekend of the month. I had a dcs case open, based on... View More

You can file both. But I really don't recommend an appeal generally for a custody case. Appeals can take 9 to 15 months, and some even longer, and your remedy is a new trial. In the meantime, the current orders stay in place. By the time the appeal gets decided, you would be eligible to modify... View More
I did nothing but, have been told I said something of concern. Which I don't remember. The order also includes my 2 minor children.

I'm sorry to hear of your situation. You are in a very precarious situation. I STRONGLY recommend you consult with an attorney and have them review the Order of Protection and the deed to your house before you take any action.
If you have not done so already, you can challenge the... View More

May suggests it's optional, but it does general convey who gets to make the option. Sounds likes this parent may choose to use their parenting time or not, and if they do choose to do so, the other parent should allow it.

Pay something for both.
If this Court-ordered child support, you'd better either pay the full amount or get the amount modified.

There should only be one state that issues the actual child support order. The state that issued it first has continuing, exclusive jurisdiction to modify child support under A.R.S. § 25-1225. That state hangs onto continuing, exclusive jurisdiction to modify child support until both parents and... View More

I do think $40 and a pair of jeans is worth it just to avoid the hassle of a lawsuit and avoid the risk of possibly paying more at a Court. I'd have him sign something that it satisfies what you owe him for the death of his cat.
I will say this, though, only one of you had your animal... View More
Small Claim/ Civil Garnishment: If a creditor gets a judgment against a garnishee for failure to comply (not filing a garnishee answer), and the garnishee pays judgment in full, Can the garnishee then go after the Debtor for these funds?
answered on Jul 26, 2022
It's possible. The proper thing to do when paying off a Court-ordered debt is to have the judgment creditor sign a Satisfaction of Judgment and file it with the Court.
That said, if you have a record you made the payment, you should notify the Court right away that you have paid it and... View More

In almost all cases, a parent's obligation to pay child support ends when the child turns 18 and graduates high school. At that time, the parent also is no longer legally responsible to pay for the child's medical and dental insurance. Parents in Arizona are not required to pay for a... View More
No one can tell me what comes next. If I can't write the Memorandum, then I have no defense. Legal advise isn't common in my case. PLEASE HELP!

I don't know if you are appealing a civil matter or criminal matter. Regardless, the answer is the same: You prepare a "narrative" of what happened in Court, file it with the superior court, and the other party may then object to what you've written. You need to file this no... View More
This probably sounds so crazy. But his comment lead me down a spiral of self-hatred and eventually forcing myself to vomit up food to be skinnier.

We don't know enough to answer this question.
But, generally, if there was already a trial, you don't get a second one. This is especially true if it was a criminal trial.
I am planning on filing to establish paternity just to prove that he’s the father. Am I, as the mother, allowed to decline child support from the father, or would the AZ courts require this to be paid for the child?

answered on Jul 12, 2022
You can file just to establish paternity. You are not required to seek child support.
If dies and paternity is established, the child would inherit from the father, but ONLY IF the father dies without a will or trust. If he dies with a will or trust in place, he can choose to include or... View More
