Child Support

Do you have questions about child support? Is child support already in place but the other parents are not paying? 

If you share custody of common children or are facing a divorce with minor children, one of the main issues you will need to address is child support. After parenting time is determined, it is likely one parent will need to make payments to the other. But it can be difficult to understand what your rights and responsibilities are under child support laws, so it is important to work with an attorney who will guide you through the legal complexities.

At Medina Family Law Associates, we help clients address the difficult and often contested issue of child support. In Arizona, child support is calculated by a statutory formula that takes into account a range of factors. The amount of child support you pay or receive will be determined by the percentage of parenting time, medical insurance costs, day care costs, education costs, parental income and a variety of other factors.

Child support laws are created to ensure that children continue to receive the financial support they need and deserve after parents’ divorce or separate. But most parents find they have questions and concerns in this area. When you work with our law firm, we will make sure that you have a clear understanding of your rights and will work to protect the financial needs of your children as well as your own financial rights. Our firm is experience at handling child support establishments, child support arrears, child support deviations, child support modifications and enforcement for unpaid support.
