CHILD SUPPORT
How is child support determined in Arizona? The current Arizona Child Support Guidelines follow the Income Shares Model. An income shares model is a model that takes into consideration the income of both parents. The guidelines allow for the children to supported at the same level as when the parents and child(ren) were living together. Each parent contributes his/her proportionate share of the total child support amount.
It is important to provide James Portman Webster Law Office, PLC with your current income information, your ex-spouse’s income information (if known), the children(s) ages, who is paying for medical/dental insurance and daycare, if applicable. We will run an update Child Support Calculator to provide you with expectations of how much child support you with either owe the other parent, or you should expect to receive from the other parent.
