Arizona Child Support Laws

Our Arizona family law attorneys handle child support issues involving establishing paternity, establishing child support, post-judgment modification of child support and enforcement of child support. Our lawyers help clients understand child support laws in Arizona and assist them in disputes that arise in the calculation of fair child support.

Arizona child support guidelines take the following into consideration:

• Income of both parents
• Number of children being supported
• Cost of health insurance premiums
• Cost of employment-related daycare needs
• Allocation of parenting time

Arizona Spousal Maintenance

Spousal maintenance, also known as spousal support or alimony, is an important issue for many people who are going through divorce as it often relates directly to the ongoing financial security of the parties and the continuation of the marital standard of living after the divorce. When determined by the court, the need for, and amount of spousal maintenance to be awarded is decided based upon a number of factors such as:

• The age and health of the parties
• The length of the marriage
• The income and employability of each spouse
• The need for vocational training in order to become self-supporting
• Various other factors deemed relevant according to statute or by the court
