Child Support Dilemmas
In most cases, child support in Arizona refers to monthly payments made by a noncustodial parent for the support of their children. In some other cases, it could refer to payments made by both parents when their child is in foster care or in the care of a guardian or relative.
A child support order can be issued when:
- The child(ren) are under the age of 18
- Paternity is established
- The parents are separated or divorced and did not have a child support order established at the time of their divorce
- The parents were never married
- Both parents are given proper legal notice that child support will be established. If a parent does not respond within the required time period, an order for support may be entered. This is called a “default order.” It is legally valid and enforceable.Child support amounts are determined by the court based on Arizona’s Child Support Guidelines, which are different for each state. State and federal laws also require that child support guidelines be reviewed and revised every few years to match economic fluctuation.
When the courts calculate the payment amount based on the guidelines, they take into account:
- Both parents’ combined gross income
- The number of children being supported
- Each parent’s parental proportional share
- Adjustments for expenses (such as parenting time, health insurance premiums, childcare expenses, special needs, etc)
Whether your goal is establishing, modifying, or enforcing a child support order, our Arizona child support lawyer can put you in the best possible position for success! We can offer you effective legal advice in mediation or represent your interests in court, if necessary. We truly care about making a positive impact on you and your children’s lives.
