Calculating child support in Arizona is not always an easy
task. It is a complex mathematical formula that is re-evaluated every several
years to assure that it is in line with the current cost of living. The court looks at the following information
in order to determine child support to be paid:
1. The
number of minor children of the relationship;
2. The
ages of the children;
3. Both
parents gross monthly incomes;
4. If
either party is paying spousal maintenance;
5. If
either party is receiving spousal maintenance;
6. If
either parent has a child or children from another relationship and if either
parent is paying child support;
7. The
cost of health insurance for the minor child/children only
8. The
cost of daycare;
9. An
adjustment of the amount of parenting time;
10. If there is any extraordinary ongoing costs for
a child with special needs.
Once the court reviews all of the
information the Judge or Commissioner inputs the information into a child
support calculator which calculates the final collar amount for child
support. The above factors are just the
tip of the iceberg when it comes to calculating child support in the state of
Arizona.
