In Arizona there are rules in the statute about relocating more than 100 miles. You must either have the agreement of the other parent, and you should get that in writing, or you need an order from the court. I you have an attorney assisting you with the dissolution he or she will be able to advise you. If you do not have an attorney I suggest you at least consult with an experienced and local family law attorney to talk about this.

Get an attorney now! Moving out of state required the permission of the court in most circumstances.

It depends upon the child custody issues.. If your soon to be ex consents in writing it will be ok.. if not its potentially a long and arduous process.. I recently got permission over the objections of a 50-50 custodial parent (physical and legal custody) to allow my client to move with her daughter to Italy.. but it took a very long time (almost a year) and 5 full day court hearings.

What does the other parent say? If they agree, then it is no problem. If they don't, then you need to convince the judge that it is in the best interests of the child for you to move. That does not happen very often in Idaho.

You can only change states if the other parent consents to the move via a written Consent Order approved by the Court, or if the Judge grants the move via written Order from the Court after a Hearing on the issue.

You need to notify your court and seek permission to relocate.

If it is so stated within your divorce papers, that is all you will need for the change. If it is not so stated, you will have to go back to Court with a request and ask the Court for an appropriate Order.

I have no idea what you mean by a consent divorce? You can not move the child out of the school district, let alone the state without giving the other parent notice 60 days before you plan to move. The other parent can then object to the notice and the court must decide if you can move. Failure to do this can lead to the court forcing you to bring the child back.
