Child custody in Arizona is different
Arizona child custody laws have their own rules and their own vocabulary. Here's what matters most before you file or respond.
01
Both parents' incomes count
Arizona uses an income shares model, which combines both parents' gross incomes to work out the support obligation.
04
Legal parentage generally carries a support obligation
Parentage can be established by a voluntary acknowledgment signed by both parents or by a court order. An acknowledgment can usually be rescinded within 60 days. If it is successfully challenged later, the change applies going forward, so support that has already come due generally remains owed.
02
The guideline amount is presumed correct
The Arizona Supreme Court sets the child support guidelines, and the amount they produce is presumed correct. A court may depart from it only with written findings that applying the guidelines would be inappropriate or unjust.
05
Changing an order takes a substantial and continuing change
To modify existing child support, a parent generally must show changed circumstances that are substantial and continuing. A change in the availability or cost of health insurance coverage can qualify. Unlike requests to change parenting time, support modification has no one-year waiting period. A change is generally effective the first day of the month after notice of the petition, unless the court orders otherwise for good cause.
03
Parenting time and family costs shape the number
The calculation takes into account how parenting time is shared, including adjustments for extended parenting time. It also considers childcare costs, the children's health insurance costs, and extraordinary medical or educational expenses.
06
Support can outlast the paying parent
Child support generally survives the death of the paying parent. A court may modify future amounts or convert them to a lump-sum payment.
