FAQ - Child Support

When legal decision making is decided, how does a parent obtain child support?

The law provides that when the court grants a legal decision-making order, it also must decide what amount of child support should be paid, by each parent, under the Arizona Child Support Guidelines. Joint legal decision-making does not mean that either parent is no longer responsible to provide for the support of the child.
