How Do Arizona Courts Determine Child Support?

Judges do not use a one-size-fits-all approach to child support. They consider a variety of factors, including:

• Each parent’s income
• The spousal maintenance paid or received
• The custody and parenting time arrangement
• Expenses associated with medical care and education

Child support judgments are not necessarily permanent; you can seek a post-judgment modification if you or your co-parent’s circumstances change significantly.

What Is Paternity? How Will It Affect Me?

Paternity is the legal term referring to a child’s biological father. When a child is born to parents who are married to each other, the state assumes that the man is the child’s biological father. However, when a child is born to unmarried parents, this is not so. One or both parents must establish paternity for one parent to obtain custodial rights or for the other to receive child support.
