Re: violation of divorce decree

Thank you for your inquiry. Depending on the way your paperwork is worded, you may have a remedy. Arizona law requires a parent to get a court order or the other parent's written permission before moving the children out of state. One difficulty for you may be that the relocation happened so long ago. You did not indicate whether you were permitted access to your children after they moved; that may also be a significant factor.

We offer a free initial consultation, so please contact the office (480.792.9770) to schedule a time to meet with one of our attorneys about the details of your situation.
