FAQ - Legal Decision Making and Parenting Time (Custody)

In the fall of 2024, the Arizona Department of Child Safety (DCS) mailed letters to parents who once had an open dependecy and/or severance case.

Did you receive a letter? Visit the DCS letter page for more information.

What if my job requires an immediate transfer in less than 60 days?

A parent who is required to relocate in less than 60 days and is a parent with sole or joint legal decision making and primary residence of a child may temporarily move with the child after written notice has been given to the other parent. The move will be permitted on a temporary basis until a final agreement or order is formed.
