I assume that being on the ARD program means that your son is on probation. That being the case, your son would have to either speak to his probation officer, if one was assigned. If not, he would have to make application (i.e. petition) the court in which he was sentenced and request a transfer. While these transfers are not automatic, he may stand a good chance since you (his family) lives in the state that he wants to relocate to (if he doesn't live there already). However, your state would also have to agree to the transfer.
