When disagreements arise that can\u2019t be resolved privately, it helps to work with an experienced attorney who knows how to fight for those rights.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">At JacksonWhite Law, our family law attorneys have over 40 years of combined experience fighting for issues over child support and spousal support. From negotiating new agreements to appealing existing orders and taking aggressive actions to collect payments in arrears, we know how to get our clients the results that they need and deserve.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Child Support Services in Mesa<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Under <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.azleg.gov\/ars\/25\/00501.htm\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Arizona law<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, parents have an obligation to provide for their child\u2019s needs. When the parents are divorced, separated, or simply no longer in a relationship, the law requires a custody and child support plan to ensure that the child is properly cared for.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.azcourts.gov\/familylaw\/Child-Support-Calculator-Information\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Calculating child support<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> is fairly complex, taking into account a variety of factors including who has custody, each parent\u2019s financial situation, the child\u2019s needs, and more. It\u2019s a delicate balancing act between providing maximum support for the child and avoiding undue financial burden on the parents, though the court will always put the needs of the child first.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In addition to helping parents negotiate a child support agreement, the family law team at JacksonWhite Law is able to provide the following services:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><a href=\"\/arizona-family-law\/child-support-laws-arizona\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Pursuing legal action when child support payments aren\u2019t being made<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Working with the other party to collect unpaid child support<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Altering child support orders when financial situations have changed\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you need legal assistance with your child support order, call the Family Law Team at <a href=\"tel:4804674348\">(480) 467-4348<\/a>\u00a0to discuss your case today.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Mesa Spousal Support Services<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Spousal support &#8212; sometimes called spousal maintenance or alimony &#8212; refers to court-ordered payments between separated or divorced spouses. The idea behind these payments is to ensure that both parties leave the marriage on relatively equal ground, and avoid any unfair economic consequences of divorce or legal separation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In Arizona, spousal support payments are determined by the guidelines established in <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.azleg.gov\/ars\/25\/00319.htm\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">ARS 25-319<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. When merited, they must be included in the official divorce or legal separation agreement in order to be enforced.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As with child support, calculating spousal support payments is an incredibly complex process that requires the help of a legal professional. In fact, the first discussion that you\u2019ll need to have with your attorney shouldn\u2019t be over how much alimony you can get, but whether or not you actually qualify for it, as spousal support is never guaranteed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">At JacksonWhite Law, our seasoned family law team has a wealth of experience assisting clients with every aspect of spousal support, including:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><a href=\"\/arizona-family-law\/spousal-maintenance-attorney\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Negotiating new spousal support agreements<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Amending existing spousal support agreements<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><a href=\"\/arizona-family-law\/calculate-spousal-support\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Enforcing a spousal support order<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Collecting spousal support arrears<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Terminating spousal support<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Need help with your spousal support order?
