On the one hand, the goal is to ensure that the recipient is properly provided for. On the other, it shouldn\u2019t be an undue financial burden on the party who will be making the support payments.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">That may not sound too hard in theory, but in practice it\u2019s extremely difficult. Calculating support payments is a complex undertaking that must consider a wide variety of factors, and the solution is never black and white.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Scottsdale Child and Spousal Support Attorneys<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Whether you\u2019re in need of child support, spousal support, or both, the family law team at JacksonWhite Law is here to help. Our attorneys have over 40 years of combined experience in resolving family disputes, and we pride ourselves in delivering compassionate client service with aggressive representation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ready to discuss your unique situation with our legal team? Call us today at <a href=\"tel:4804674348\">(480) 467-4348<\/a>\u00a0 to schedule a consultation, or fill out our contact form and we\u2019ll get back to you as soon as possible.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Child Support in Scottsdale<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Arizona law clearly states that parents have a legal obligation to provide for their child\u2019s needs. While it\u2019s assumed that parents in an active relationship will work together to fulfill those needs, parents who are separated or divorced must have custody and support orders to ensure the child\u2019s needs are met.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">While no two cases are the same, most child support cases will have one custodial parent and one non-custodial parent &#8212; even if the parents split parenting time equally with the child. Both parents will be expected to financially provide for the child, but the non-custodial parent will need to provide support in the form of child support payments to the custodial parent.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It\u2019s no secret that calculating child support is incredibly complex. The state provides great <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.azcourts.gov\/familylaw\/Child-Support-Calculator-Information\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">guidelines <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">on how to calculate support payments, but in practice it\u2019s difficult to strike the right balance between providing for the child\u2019s needs and avoiding an undue financial burden on the non-custodial parent. The matter is even more difficult when the non-custodial parent has one or more children with another partner, as child support payments will directly impact the parent\u2019s ability to support their other children.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Fortunately, you don\u2019t need to tackle this gargantuan task on your own. With the help of an experienced attorney, it\u2019s a little easier to reach an agreement and obtain a court order. Down the road, your attorney can also help you to modify a court order when circumstances warrant an amendment, or enforce the order if the other parent fails to live up to their side of the agreement.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Spousal Support in Scottsdale<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Spousal support, sometimes referred to as alimony or spousal maintenance, is similar to child support in that it\u2019s intended to ensure that everyone leaves the marriage on equal ground. The goal is to avoid unfair economic consequences after a divorce or separation, though again, it\u2019s challenging to accomplish in practice.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Not all divorce or separation cases qualify for spousal support payments, especially those that involve prenuptial or postnuptial agreements. An individual case assessment is required to understand if spousal support payments are warranted, and if so, to what extent.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Unlike child support, spousal support agreements don\u2019t last until a certain age. Sometimes they\u2019re permanent, but more often than not they expire after a set number of years or when the recipient remarries.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you\u2019re questioning whether your case is eligible for spousal support, give us a call today at <a href=\"tel:4804674348\">(480) 467-4348<\/a>\u00a0 to discuss your situation. Our experienced legal team can estimate the value of potential support payments, map out a legal strategy, and represent you in negotiations to ensure an optimal agreement.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Meet the JacksonWhite Family Law Team<\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jacksonwhitelaw.com\/team\/timothy-w-durkin\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Tim Durkin<\/span><\/a><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Tim is the senior attorney on our family law team, and he brings a wealth of experience to the table.
