Child Support
Child support is based upon Arizona statutes and written guidelines issued by the Supreme Court of Arizona. The amount depends on each parent's gross income, childcare costs, medical and dental insurance for the children, day care or school costs, the children's ages, whether the children have special needs, and other factors.

Child Support Modification
If you are finding it difficult to make your child support obligation each month because of changes to your financial situation; you need to quickly modify your child support agreement with the court. A child support modification may help you substantially decrease your current child support obligation. Additionally, if the non-custodial parent's income has increased, you need to file for a child support modification to increase the amount you receive. A child support modification is a process to legally change the child support amount. Arizona law allows parents to ask the court to change the amount of child support paid or received. Support modification is appropriate if there has been a change of income of either parent, or other changes such as child care costs or health insurance premiums.
