One of the spouses will need to file a petition with the court to request a change of venue. This will explain the reasoning of why the jurisdiction should be changed.

Where you want to start is by contacting the court clerk's office in the county in which the original order was filed. It is important to note that you should not go to the court clerk in the county you reside in if this was not the county where your divorce or where the court order for child support was filed.

When parents can't agree on a custody arrangement for their child, the court will decide for them. Arizona judges must consider several factors when determining custody, including each of the following: the past, present, and potential future relationship between each parent and the child.

Go to the Clerk of Superior Court and ask to file a ?Petition to Establish Legal Decision-Making (legal custody), Parenting Time and Child Support.? They will give you a packet of forms which you need to fill out. (This packet is also downloadable online.) File your completed paperwork and pay the required filing fees.

Filing fees vary depending on your case. Expect to pay between $100 and $200 when you file. Your county may have additional costs, including fees for motions (e.g., a request for temporary orders), notary services and copying forms. If you can't afford the fees, you may be eligible for a deferral or waiver.

It is not easy to obtain a sole custody agreement. In most cases, there is a presumption that a child maintaining a relationship with both parents is what's best for the child, barring any circumstances that would suggest otherwise.
