If your children live out of state, you may need to file your case in another state. In order to file papers in the state of Arizona, the children must have lived in the state for the past 6 months. Arizona will not take jurisdiction of a child who lives in another state. Sometimes things can get confusing if there are orders out of one county and the children now live in another. If your children live in another state and you are struggling to figure out where you need to file papers, contact us today! Our team will give you a free consultation and help you out!
