Even if you are the custodial parent, the other parent may still have legal decision-making rights.  When both parents have legal decision-making or parenting rights and live in Arizona, a parent planning to relocate with their child must provide the other parent with advance notice. They may provide notice through certified mail and request a return receipt.","@id":"https:\/\/www.phoenixlawteam.com\/blog\/child-custody-and-relocation-laws-in-arizona\/#Answer"},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Answer","name":"Answer Question1","text":"The custodial parent must notify the other parent with custody rights before relocating.

In some cases, the UCCJEA dictates that a state a child has \u201csignificant connections\u201d to has jurisdiction. This may be necessary when a child doesn\u2019t have a legal home state because they haven\u2019t resided in any state for six months.  The UCCJEA serves in part to guard against kidnapping. It can also ensure that a parent who relocates with a child must honor existing custody orders. However, the UCCJEA does not affect child support.","@id":"https:\/\/www.phoenixlawteam.com\/blog\/child-custody-and-relocation-laws-in-arizona\/#Answer4"},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"What Are the Custodial Parent\u2019s Rights When Moving Out of State?","acceptedAnswer":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.phoenixlawteam.com\/blog\/child-custody-and-relocation-laws-in-arizona\/#Answer"},"@id":"https:\/\/www.phoenixlawteam.com\/blog\/child-custody-and-relocation-laws-in-arizona\/#Question"},{"@type":"Question","name":"Does the Custodial Parent Need to Have the Court\u2019s Permission Before Moving Out of\u00a0State?","acceptedAnswer":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.phoenixlawteam.com\/blog\/child-custody-and-relocation-laws-in-arizona\/#Answer1"},"@id":"https:\/\/www.phoenixlawteam.com\/blog\/child-custody-and-relocation-laws-in-arizona\/#Question1"},{"@type":"Question","name":"How Much Advance Notice Must One Parent Give the Other When Planning to Move?","acceptedAnswer":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.phoenixlawteam.com\/blog\/child-custody-and-relocation-laws-in-arizona\/#Answer2"},"@id":"https:\/\/www.phoenixlawteam.com\/blog\/child-custody-and-relocation-laws-in-arizona\/#Question3"},{"@type":"Question","name":"What Is a Parenting Time Agreement?","acceptedAnswer":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.phoenixlawteam.com\/blog\/child-custody-and-relocation-laws-in-arizona\/#Answer3"},"@id":"https:\/\/www.phoenixlawteam.com\/blog\/child-custody-and-relocation-laws-in-arizona\/#Question4"},{"@type":"Question","name":"What Is the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act?","acceptedAnswer":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.phoenixlawteam.com\/blog\/child-custody-and-relocation-laws-in-arizona\/#Answer4"},"@id":"https:\/\/www.phoenixlawteam.com\/blog\/child-custody-and-relocation-laws-in-arizona\/#Question5"}],"name":"Child Custody and Relocation Laws in Arizona","@id":"https:\/\/www.phoenixlawteam.com\/blog\/child-custody-and-relocation-laws-in-arizona\/#FAQPage"},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Question","acceptedAnswer":"Answer Question2","name":"How Much Advance Notice Must One Parent Give the Other When Planning to Move?","@id":"https:\/\/www.phoenixlawteam.com\/blog\/child-custody-and-relocation-laws-in-arizona\/#Question2"}],{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Blog","item":"https:\/\/www.phoenixlawteam.com\/blog\/#breadcrumbitem"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Child Custody and Relocation Laws in Arizona","item":"https:\/\/www.phoenixlawteam.com\/blog\/child-custody-and-relocation-laws-in-arizona\/#breadcrumbitem"}]}]
