Arizona Child Custody:
Arizona courts will do everything possible to lessen the emotional impact on children of divorcing parents. If the parents cannot agree on a plan for custody, the courts will decide what is best for the children. Among the factors the court will weigh are the willingness of one parent to encourage a relationship between the child and the other parent, as well as any history of violence or abusive conduct by either parent.
Arizona Child Support:
Arizona law specifies a procedure for calculating child support. The gross incomes of both parents are added together and located on a chart, which gives the appropriate child support. The court can vary from the amount that appears on the chart after considering several factors, including the special needs of a child, obligations to children not of the present marriage, parenting time and other financial factors.
Support is paid to a child support agency and usually deducted by an employer. See Arizona Divorce Laws & Resources for child support enforcement resources.
