Helping Parents Resolve Child Support Concerns
Children in Arizona are legally entitled to the level of financial support that both of their parents are able to give them. Whether you are going through a divorce or involved in a child support dispute for any other reason, a fair outcome depends on getting accurate information.
I'm Kyle Scoresby, an experienced Arizona divorce and family law attorney. My staff and I at Scoresby Family Law in Scottsdale and Mesa can help you pursue a fair outcome in your child support case. Contact us to discuss what we can do to address your concerns and meet your needs.
Accurately Calculating Fair Support Obligations
In Arizona, child support is calculated based on a set of guidelines that take into account several variables, including the income or earning ability of each parent, the child custody schedule and the number of children supported by each party.
While the guidelines are designed to create a fairly straightforward formula, there are many situations where child support determinations are more involved. Depending on your specific circumstances, some steps that may be necessary include:
- Investigating whether one party is earning money under the table
- Calculating the earning power of a party who is underemployed
- Resolving how parenting time days are calculated for purposes of the formula
- Addressing who will be responsible for health insurance and child care expenses
I am experienced at helping clients gather information in support of fair and accurate child support outcomes in divorce and paternity cases.
Addressing Issues That Come Up After the Decree
Child support often needs to be revisited after the final decree is issued. I and my staff are experienced at assisting clients in child support modification cases and enforcement efforts when necessary to make sure justice is being done on an ongoing basis.
If you need a lawyer to help you sort through the child support guidelines and the facts of your case to make sure your and your spouse's obligations are being properly met, don't hesitate to contact me to schedule a consultation.
