Common questions about Family Law in Arizona

Answered by Arizona Attorney Search Network

What does 'legal decision-making' mean in Arizona?

Since 2013, Arizona has used the term 'legal decision-making' in place of 'custody' under ARS § 25-401. It refers to the right and responsibility to make major decisions for a child - education, healthcare, religion - and is awarded as either joint or sole decision-making by the court based on the best interests of the child.

Is Arizona a community property state?

Yes. Under ARS § 25-211, almost all assets and debts acquired during the marriage are community property, owned 50/50 regardless of whose name is on the title. Property is divided equitably (not necessarily equally) on divorce, and gifts and inheritances received individually generally remain separate property.

How is child support calculated in Arizona?

Arizona uses the Income Shares Model under ARS § 25-320 and the Arizona Child Support Guidelines. Both parents' gross incomes, parenting time percentages, healthcare costs, and childcare costs feed a worksheet that produces a presumptive amount. The court can deviate from the presumed amount on specific factual findings, and orders can be modified for a substantial and continuing change of circumstances.
