Arizona Request to Register Foreign Custody Order is a process used by Arizona courts to recognize an out-of-state or foreign custody order. It allows the foreign order to be enforced in Arizona. There are two types of Arizona Request to Register Foreign Custody Order: 1) Direct Registration and 2) Interstate Compact on the Placement of Children (CPC). Direct Registration allows an out-of-state or foreign custody order to be registered in Arizona without any further proceedings. It requires the court to verify that the foreign order is valid and that the parties are in compliance with the order. If the order is valid, the court will enter an Arizona order that establishes the same custody rights and obligations as the foreign order. The CPC is an agreement between Arizona and states/countries that allows for child placement between them. This agreement requires the court to review the foreign order and determine if it meets Arizona's standards for custody and child placement. If so, the court will enter an Arizona order that establishes the same custody rights and obligations as the foreign order. In either case, the Arizona Request to Register Foreign Custody Order is a process that allows an out-of-state or foreign custody order to be enforced in Arizona.
