Legal Question in Family Law in Arizona
relocation and custody
I left my husband and left AZ. Moved
to NY, got a divorce. Then after
divorce I decided to move back to AZ.
Got remarried and want to move to
New Mexico with my new husband.
Can I do this move? I have sole
custody and there is nothing in the
divorce decree saying I can't move. I
figured I can move since I wasn't
even in AZ when the divorce went
thru. Please help!!

Re: relocation and custody
If your divorce decree was signed in Arizona, and if you both reside in the same state and if the other parent has court-ordered parenting time, you might need to obtain permission from the court prior to relocating (based on AZ statute, and depending on what your paperwork says). If your divorce was issued in a different state, you'd need to look to that state's laws regarding relocation.
