Arizona Child Support Laws

How to Enforce Child Support in Arizona | Phoenix Family Law

Joel Hoffman

 

Enforcing Child Support in Phoenix

Enforcement of child support is controlled by Arizona revised statute, title 25, starting at section 500. I find that many of my clients need me to return to court to pursue non-payment of a child support obligation.

Petition for Contempt

You can file a petition for contempt, requesting that the court one, determine the amount of child support arrearage, two, enter a finding of contempt, three, order incarceration with a purge clause for the payment of a lump sum amount to satisfy all or a portion of the arrearage, in order to avoid going to jail and four, enter a judgment for the unpaid child support amount with a repayment plan with accruing interest until the arrearage is paid in full.

Non-Compliance

If the other party fails to appear for court after being served with the petition, the court can even issue a child support arrest warrant. Finally, depending upon the amount of child support arrearage that is owed, the court can order the other party to attend regular monthly hearings through accountability court to monitor compliance with the child support court order. If you want to learn more about enforcing and collecting your child support court order, please contact me at Warner Angle, (602) 264-7101, to schedule a complimentary consultation. I look forward to meeting with you.

Modifying Arizona Child Support Orders | Scottsdale Family Law

Greg Davis

 

Modifying Child Support in Scottsdale

Yes, you can modify an existing order of child support. Someone who wants to modify an order of child support must show a substantial and continuing change in circumstances. Many situations could constitute a substantial and continuing change in circumstances, but a couple of examples would be the loss of the paying parent’s job, or a child’s special needs, or even a change in parenting time. If you want to know more, call me, Greg Davis, at (602) 279-1900.

Can I Modify an Existing Child Support Order in Arizona?

Kip Micuda

 

An existing child support order can be modified if you are able to show a significant and continuing change of circumstances. And what I mean by that, is that you have a change in parenting time, in income, expenses, perhaps the insurance covering the child has changed, something that is related to child support that has changed. There’s basically two ways to go about doing it. One is what I’ll call a regular petition to modify child support. The other is a simplfied way of doing it. If you are able to show that the changed circumstances have the effect of a 15% change in child support, you can file your petition and if the other side does not respond to it, the change is automatic. The court signs an automatic order. If you have any other questions about changing a current order of child support, please contact me at Hildebrand Law. The phone number is, (480) 305-8300. Thank you.

To modify an existing child support order, contact an Arizona divorce attorney.

What is a Wage Assignment | Scottsdale Child Support

C.D. Owens

 

Wage Assignments

A wage assignment is something that the court does when the payer of child support is employed, if he has a job, an employer, somebody who pays him salary twice a month or once a month. The court will issue an order to his employer instructing him to deduct the amount of child support on the court’s order for child support from his salary each time a check is written to him.

So it can be twice a month, once a week, once a month and any changes that the employer wants to make, needs to make has to go through the court. If anyone has any difficulty with that, they are free to call us anytime.

How Does Parenting Time Affect Child Support Amounts | Scottsdale Family Law

Greg Davis

 

Parenting Time Effects

Parenting time is perhaps the largest factor affecting the amount of child support a non-custodial parent will pay. The more parenting time days one spends with the children, the bigger the discount off the presumptive child support amount. For more information, call me, Greg Davis at Davis Limited, (602) 279-1900.
