1 child moved here already mom won’t allow second child to move
You may be able to do so. You would need to "domesticate the judgment." I recommend you contact an experienced family law attorney to discuss the matter further.

Yes.
It really depends on where you are in the case. If no orders have ever been made, I would file a Petition to Establish Paternity, Legal Decision-making, Parenting Time, and Child Support, as you need to file a Petition to start a case.
Then it's a matter of filling out a Parenting... Read more »

Currently have temporary custody orders in place 50/50 legal/physical in Arizona. Mother is in Mexico in ICU not able to care for child and not been present for her parenting time for obvious reasons.
The standard for filing for an emergency is whether the child is likely to face irreparable harm if the orders are not changed. If she's medically incapacitated and the child is in her care, then that could be grounds for an emergency. If the child is in your care, your grounds for emergency... Read more »
It may depend on what rights she gave away. If she is still a legal parent, she can request it.
You also should be able to request your own birth certificate. Here's the form:
https://azdhs.gov/documents/licensing/vital-records/application-certificate-birth.pdf
Is it accepted as evidence/discovery ?
This is a one-party recording state, so long as one party knows they're being recorded, it is legal. (That may not apply if one of the parties is in another state).
It is potentially admissible evidence. It will need to be disclosed and needs to be relevant. Opposing party/counsel will... Read more »

My kids have been kept from me for 2 weeks then returned to me. I’m told what I can and can’t do with them on a daily basis. They won’t allow my 19 year old son to watch them when I need to work so now I’m not able to work as I have nobody else to watch them when they are with me. And our... Read more »
Until the custody order is modified, the Illinois order remains the agreement between you two. Unless the order specifically empowers your ex to dictate who can provide child care, he has no authority to direct you who can and cannot watch your child(ren). If there is a right of first refusal... Read more »

He has no visitation or support agreement, what steps does he need to take to get an enforceable agreement?
He should file a Petition to Establish Paternity, Legal Decision-making, Parenting Time, and Child Support with the Court and work with her on drafting a Parenting Plan. He can work with her on the Parenting Plan before or after filing the Petition to establish.
I otherwise would not have given consent.
Most likely. There are some time and circumstance limits that may come into play, but generally speaking, you can challenge his signature in Court, but the sooner you do so, the better.
I recommend speaking with an attorney as soon as you can.

The short answer is no. DCS will likely keep the case open until they are confident there is no longer a concern that the child(ren) will be abused or neglected. Merely giving your brother guardianship is not extremely reassuring; particularly because it is your brother and DCS will likely consider... Read more »
My mother knowingly put the wrong man on my AZ birth cert. My "father" did not know about this, but does not intend to pursue any action, and does not mind staying on my birth cert. For 10 years I have attempted to figure out who my bio father is using DNA testing, since my mother will... Read more »
I'm not aware of any case like yours nor could I find any when I searched on Westlaw. I believe, though, that your situation would be governed by A.R.S. 25-803, which determines who has standing to bring a paternity action. 803(A) lists who can bring a paternity claim for a child, but 803(B)...

SD has no max so is my diver license safe?
Also are there covid laws in SD to protect my license?
You asked this question to Arizona, where it seems like you intended to ask for South Dakota.
If you intended Arizona, North Dakota could ask AZ to enforce. AZ does not have a Statute of Limitations for enforcing child support, and losing your drivers license is a potential consequence in AZ.
My daughter was born on 11.05.2020. She will now be 7 months in 4 days and her father has yet to even have met her.

The risk you run filing for child support is that he files to establish legal decision-making and parenting time. Arizona law starts with the presumption that parenting time should be equal, but the Court will order something other than equal parenting time if you can show that a different order is...

The court if one party is claiming the other signed and relinquished their rights of a child and they were granted full custody??
We'd need more information, particularly what relinquishing means. When people typically mention "relinquishing" they can mean one of two things:
1. A parent severed all rights to the child, including that they would no longer be legally recognized as the parent of the the... Read more »
