Assuming that the Arizona court is where the only custody/parenting time order applicable to your daughter was issued, that state has sole jurisdiction to amend the custody order to give you sole custody based on the mother's threatened violations of the order. Oregon and California are obligated to give full faith and credit to the Arizona court's order under applicable law. A few questions. First, has she previously threatened to keep the child before but later relented and brought her back? Second, has the mother informed you as where she is going to be in Oregon? That's important so you can get her served with the papers required to effect a change in the custody order. If the mother's threat to take your daughter to Oregon and cut off your visitation is real and current, get to an Arizona lawyer ASAP.
