In Arizona, child support arrangements are made when parents are\u00a0divorcing<\/a>\u00a0or legally separating. The child support amount is based on many factors, including the parents\u2019 incomes and the expenses of the child or children. However, family circumstances are likely to change over time, which is why Arizona allows for child support modifications in certain situations.<\/p>\n If you are seeking a child support modification in Arizona, an attorney is a valuable resource for ensuring you follow the appropriate processes and procedures while filing your request.
