While we serve clients throughout Maricopa County, we are especially convenient for people who live in the Northeast Valley, such as Scottsdale, Paradise Valley, Fountain Hills and Northeast Phoenix.
In both divorce and paternity cases, the basic child support obligation is determined under the state child support guidelines. You can get a good idea of your own child support payment by using the Arizona Child Support Calculator. There are many situations, however, when the result produced by the calculator will understate or overstate the amount that should actually be paid. Here are some frequent complications that could be taken into consideration in establishing a child support obligation:
- Child has special medical, educational or behavioral needs
- Paying parent needs to support children from a prior marriage or relationship
- Paying parent has extraordinary expenses related to health care, business travel or other circumstances
- Paying parent is self-employed or has an income that is irregular or difficult to ascertain
John Belt can advise parents on either side of a child support controversy both in divorce and in paternity cases. He also counsels clients in cases involving the modification or enforcement of child support obligations.
