Phoenix Child Support

The law secures the protection, happiness, and welfare of children so they can grow up into holistically healthy citizens of the country. Receiving their basic needs, such as food, shelter, education, and clothing, is a right that parents must adequately provide.

Phoenix Child Support phoenix familylaw images 1 300x200Arizona state laws provide that both parents must contribute to the needs of their children. While this can be mistaken as both parents having to contribute the same amount of financial resources, the most common arrangement, in fact, is that one parent provides money while the other takes care of the daily needs of the children involved.

In cases of divorced couples, it is the court that has the power to decide on who is most fit to handle the daily upbringing of the child and who will be in charge of the majority of financial resources. They will, of course, consider important factors like the income of the parents, the current arrangement of custody, the gravity of the situation, and the needs of the children.

Child Support Calculation

The major idea of child support cases is making the right arrangements in financial provisions between a divorced couple. Although money is a major factor, the parental responsibilities of the one who will receive the money are also heavily considered.

Phoenix Child Support phoenix familylaw images 28 300x200In the context of a child custody arrangement, the parent who has the most rights and responsibilities over the child is often the one who receives financial support from the other. It is already understood that the parent who is involved in the daily upbringing of the child is already contributing equally to the situation. But certain situations, such as when the custodial parent earns much more than the other one, definitely demand special court actions.

Whatever complications your situation has, Dodge & Vega PLC is here to figure out the best way to achieve the most favorable child support arrangement for you and your kids.

Here are certain factors that the court considers when it comes to deciding on child support matters:

1. The number of children eligible to receive child support
2. Educational expenses, medical sickness coverage, and other important financial considerations
3. Physical time spent by each parent with the child
4. The financial capacity of each parent
5. Other financial resources such as investments, businesses, social security, etc.
6. Amount of spousal support received if there is any.

To maintain the kids’ relationship with their parents, the court considers carefully the time spent by each parent with them. Coupled with the financial resources that the children need to live a good life, the court will judge the situation with the kids’ welfare in mind as the top priority. This is also what we want for you. The court does not immediately know all the information about your case. So we will make sure that we argue effectively so they can see how to best take care of your children by making the best possible child support arrangements.

Whether you’re the one who needs to receive child support from the other parent or you’re the one who needs to settle your obligations as a child support provider, Dodge & Vega PLC can provide you with a skilled and understanding Phoenix child support attorney.

Child Support Enforcement

It is a well-known problem in child custody and support cases that some parents are totally or partially uncooperative, refusing to properly carry out the initial arrangements.

We will help you find out the reasons why the other party is refusing to cooperate and make the right arguments to the court to convince them that legal action is necessary for the sake of the children involved.
