    Question: My parents are divorced with joint custody but I really don't want to spend very much time with my father. How are custody issues decided?

Changes in custody agreements are made only after the parents have formally requested a change and demonstrated that the change is best for the child. (A.R.S. § 25-403).

    Look may be you are old enough to make your disions. but you need to ask your self why you want to move and i hope it is not becouse you can get away with more over there and if it is than your doing all this for the wroung reasons. and that is why we have judies so that they can help us relise what is truly going on.Best of Luck!
