That depends on state law (or country if outside the USA) where the motion or motions are filed. Some places, it can be done with one motion. Other places, it may have to be done separately.

How does visitation work if both parents were granted full custody in AZ but father moves to tx?

Both parents cannot be awarded full custody at the same time, however they may be awarded joint custody. If that is the case, then the parent in Arizona needs to file for a custody/visitation modification based on the father's move, if he doesn't intend to abide by the original agreement. If he does, it is up to him to pay all related expenses in coming to visit his child or taking them to Texas for his parenting time. Also, Arizona law provides that the parent intending to move must file a notice of intent to relocate prior to moving and such a move be approved by the court. If he did not do this, he may have his custodial/visitation rights modified based on the same and your child support increased as a result (you would have to file for modification of this separately).

What if the mother has been under cps and lost her custody battle but has visitation rights can you refuse those rights because of child endangerment?

Only with a court order. If you feel the mother would present a danger to the child during visitation, you must file for a modification to visitation based on the same and wait for the judge to rule on it. If time is an issue, you can file for an emergency order. Otherwise, if you refuse the mother access to her child as outlined in the original visitation order, you risk being found in contempt of court and that can bring fines and/or jail time.

Yes signing over custody is not the same as giving up your parental rights. You still have the right to visitation for example.


What to do when the other parent only show's up for visitation sometimes?

You cannot force a parent to visit their child, however if they are not abiding by the court order outlining visitation, you can either file an action against them in the court of jurisdiction for contempt of court, or apply for a modification of the original custody/visitation order, stripping them of their rights to visitation or lessening them. If such an order is approved and the custodial arrangement is changed, child support may also be modified based on the same.
