That depends on what the divorce decree says.

If you have court ordered custody file a petition to get court permission to move and get an attorney.

If you are divorcing in Arizona, then the preliminary injunction prevents you from removing the child from the state during the divorce without the other parent's written consent. If the other parent does not consent, you can ask the court for permission to relocate, but this is extremely difficult to do.

First, is there a parenting plan or other court order in place? If there is a parenting plan in place, it will contain a summary of the Washington Relocation Act, which you must comply with in order to be able to move with your child(ren). Also, the parenting plan or other court order may contain additional restrictions on moving. If so, you must follow those. Second, were you married to the child's father? If not, has paternity been established? If paternity has not been established, then, there are probably not restrictions on your moving. Although, you should still check carefully any court orders you might have.

Your only option is to obtain permission from your spouse (or the court if your spouse disagrees) in connection with the court's approval of a parenting plan. The judge will make a decision based on a determination of the best interests of the child after considering all relevant information.

If you cannot obtain the Father's written consent, then you will have to follow the relocation statute. You need to consult with an attorney.

If you are the custodial parent, you need to try to work out a parenting plan with the other party. In the event that you can not work out a parenting plan, you need to seek the court's permission to remove the child from the state, and have the court assist in developing a parenting plan. The courts do not usually disallow moving to a new location so long as the reason for doing so is not to prevent the other parent from bonding with the child.
