Arizona Child Support

Child Support in Arizona is often settled by the parents of the child by agreement.  Generally parents come to agreement based upon the Arizona child support guidelines.  The guidelines provide detailed instructions on calculating child support.  Arizona also provides child support calculators based on the guidelines to help families determine child support amounts.

Child support is calculated based upon each parent's income, the time each parent spends with the child or children, and certain other expenditures made on the child or children's behalf.

When child support is not paid as ordered the court has the authority to hold a child support obligor in contempt for nonpayment.
