Try to resolve custody/parenting time by agreement. If you relocate with the children, he can file for divorce here and request custody. Arizona will retain jurisdiction over the children for at least 6 months after you relocate with them.

Will he be leaving WiTHOUT the children? If so, there is probably not as much of a concern to file immedaitely.

BUT, there can be significant advantages to filing BEFORE he leaves.

We can certainly help you consider and then pursue your options.
