Under Arizona law, Arizona’s Child Support Guidelines define the factors and method for the calculation of child support. The Guidelines consider the gross income of each of the parents and do not include the income of a new spouse. Generally, the Guidelines determine income based upon a 40-hour workweek, not overtime. Other factors in determining child support are child care expenses, health insurance, whether children are older than 12, the visitation that each parent has with the child, and any special needs that a child may have that require out of pocket expenses from either parent.
Unlike child custody, visitation, or any other issues surrounding a divorce or separation, child support is determined by a simple formula. But that is not to say that the system is perfect and you could find yourself in a situation in which you are paying too much or receiving too little. That is why at Ariano & Reppucci, PLLC we take special care with each client analyzing all of the factors to make sure our clients pay/receive the amount of support they are entitled.
In June of 2011, Arizona Courts began using a revised child support calculator for determining chid support obligations.
