It seems as if you may need to obtain an order of protection. If you leave without the other parent's consent and your child has been in Arizona since birth, the Court can order you to immediately return the child to Arizona. You may also be subject to the International Kidnapping Act. The... Read more »
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.

This is an extremely complicated situation. Have you discussed the situation with the child's father? Your life will be much less likely to implode if you discuss the situation with him and have a written agreement allowing you to relocate. I HIGHLY recommend that if you are allowed to... Read 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."
Can practicing polyamory in a home where children live most of the time, stand grounds to request a modification for custody. Mother practices polyamory in her home, she doesn't have anyone living in her home as of now, but she does post it on all of her media accounts that that's what... Read more »
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... Read more »
Ex practices polyamory, not while we were together, but he does now. He has it posted on his social media accounts as well. Would a judge take that into consideration if our kids will be around
The father has closed his bank accounts, works full time for a friend of his, but gets paid under the table. No paper trail of income. But he owes over $10,000 in rears. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
My sons bio dad who lost custody 6 years ago is ready to terminate rights but doesn’t want to deal with court in anyway. He sent me a notarized letter stating he’s ready to terminate parental rights to allow my husband to adopt. How can we go about this ?

Or a legal agency?
She was probably served through the courts with the last address she left on file
answered on Sep 4, 2022
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... Read 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... Read 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... Read more »

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... Read 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.
