In recommending that the children relocate with Mother, the evaluator writes, "This evaluator believes that the risk to the children of the change of custody is greater than the risk of moving, given the issues noted above." Problem is, this is not an "either or" case. If Mother is not allowed to relocate, she will remain in Arizona. In that case, there is no change of custody. Currently, the parties have temporary joint custody, and the mother is independently wealthy.” We anticipate that these reforms to the custody statutes in AZ will make custody evaluations such as this one that do not give equal weight to both parent-child relationships, that make no connection to attachment theory or research, and that fail to educate the court about the trauma done to the child’s system by disrupting parent-child relationships a thing of the past.
