How child support is set in Arizona
Arizona uses the Child Support Guidelines, an income-shares model. Both parents’ incomes, parenting time, and costs like insurance and childcare all go into the calculation.
Income
Wages, bonuses, self-employment, and income a parent could be earning but isn’t.
Parenting time
How the number of parenting days each parent has adjusts the amount.
Added expenses
Health insurance, work-related childcare, and extraordinary costs like school or medical needs.
Modification
Updating support after a job change, a new parenting schedule, or a change in the child’s needs.
Enforcement
Collecting unpaid support and what the court can do when payments stop.
Unmarried parents
Setting support when you were never married to your child’s other parent.

Child support questions
Every case is different. These are the questions Prescott clients ask most in the first call.
How is child support calculated in Arizona?
Through the Arizona Child Support Guidelines, which combine both parents’ incomes and adjust for parenting time and child-related costs.
Does shared custody mean no child support?
Not necessarily. Even with equal time, the parent with higher income may still pay support.
When can child support be changed?
When there’s a substantial and continuing change. A simplified process is available when the new amount would differ by at least 15%.
When does child support end in Arizona?
Usually when the child turns 18, or when they finish high school if they’re still enrolled, but not past age 19.
