Let 
$(X,D)$ be a dlt pair, where 
$X$ is a normal projective variety. We show that any smooth family of canonically polarized varieties over 
$X\setminus \,{\rm Supp}\lfloor D \rfloor $ is isotrivial if the divisor 
$-(K_X+D)$ is ample. This result extends results of Viehweg–Zuo and Kebekus–Kovács. To prove this result we show that any extremal ray of the moving cone is generated by a family of curves, and these curves are contracted after a certain run of the minimal model program. In the log Fano case, this generalizes a theorem by Araujo from the klt to the dlt case. In order to run the minimal model program, we have to switch to a 
$\mathbb Q$-factorialization of 
$X$. As 
$\mathbb Q$-factorializations are generally not unique, we use flops to pass from one 
$\mathbb Q$-factorialization to another, proving the existence of a 
$\mathbb Q$-factorialization suitable for our purposes.
