Common questions about Family Law in Arizona
Answered by Arizona Attorney Search Network
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.
What happens to retirement accounts in an Arizona divorce?
Retirement contributions made during the marriage are community property under ARS § 25-318 and must be divided equitably. Division of qualified retirement plans (401(k), pensions) requires a Qualified Domestic Relations Order (QDRO), which is a separate court order specifying how the plan administrator should split the account without triggering taxes or early-withdrawal penalties.
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.
