Full question:
I have full physical custody of my son. His father re married and my son has accused his wife of hitting him and mis treating him . My son was 3 at the time he is now going to be 5 in January . I filed an ex parte, police and cps were involved because I was worried for my son. However, since I did not let my son go with his father until our court hearing there were no physical evidence of child abuse. My son's father also has another child the same age and both the mother and I have been in good communication for the kids. She also took him to court for domestic violence. He has moved to arizona and wants to arrange a schedule to have our son on holidays and vacations. I have never met his wife and have no phone number or address. I feel for my son's safety. What are his rights and how can I keep the judge from allowing him to go to arizona?

Answer:
Your rights are defined in the divorce documents. Since his father has moved out of state, you may need to modify those documents, as they might no longer apply. If you and the father can reach an agreement, that would be acceptable. However, if you genuinely fear for your child's safety, it’s advisable to consult a local attorney or the one who represented you previously.
It seems you have already had a court hearing, and without evidence, no restrictions on visitation were placed. This could affect your ability to return to court. You need to gather evidence regarding your concerns. Additionally, you are entitled to know where your child will be during visits, so you should request the father's address and contact information.
