State (DES) v. Tazioli, P.3d., 2011 WL 239547 (Ariz.App.Div.1) In 2000, Arizona issued a child support order. Since that time, Mother and Father both relocated to different states where they permanently reside. Father filed a motion to modify child support in Arizona. Mother did not appear at the scheduled hearing refusing to submit to Arizona’s jurisdiction. The Arizona trial court determined it had continuing exclusive jurisdiction over modification of child support in this matter. Mother appealed the trial court’s ruling. The question before the Arizona Court Appeals was: ” Does Arizona have continuing exclusive jurisdiction over the issue of child support modification when Mother and Father are no longer residents of Arizona?” The Arizona Court of Appeals found that pursuant to A.R.S. §25-1225, Arizona no longer had jurisdiction to modify child support because “neither party currently resides in Arizona and Mother refuses to consent to jurisdiction in Arizona. The Arizona Court of Appeals directed the trial court to forward Father’s motion to the proper court.]]>
