Common questions about Family Law in Arizona
Answered by Arizona Attorney Search Network
Can I move out of state with my child after an Arizona divorce?
Under ARS § 25-408, a parent must give the other parent at least 45 days' written notice before relocating with a child either out of state or more than 100 miles within Arizona. The other parent may petition to prevent relocation; the court evaluates the move under best-interest factors. Moving without notice can result in serious sanctions and reversal of the move.
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.
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.
