The court provides detailed information in order to give you the tools necessary to calculate child support on your own.  

The Child Support Calculator is an interactive program that will calculate a child support amount based on the Arizona Child Support Guidelines. 

You will need to have the following information in order to calculate child support:

• Children’s names and dates of birth
• Child support income of both parents
• Spousal maintenance paid or received resulting from this marriage
• Court-ordered child support for children of other relationships
• Medical, dental and vision insurance costs for children only
• Extra education expenses paid
• Extraordinary child expenses paid
• Parenting time days per year, if not equal parenting time
• Court-ordered arrears paid by the parent paying child support

The parties can also agree to deviate from the child support guidelines.  Additional language will need to be included in your court documents in order to obtain a deviation and will need to be approved by the Judge. Dynasty Legal Documents can draft your documents so they are in compliance with the latest rules and laws.

Child Support can be paid in different ways such as through the Child Support Clearinghouse, through an Income Withholding Order and/or directly to the person receiving the support.  

“The purpose of the child support calculator is informational and educational only and does not constitute legal advice. The amount of child support a court will order for any particular case may be different from the amount estimated by the calculator. The court has the final authority to determine the amount of child support awarded. The amount yielded by this calculator is only an estimate and is not a guarantee of the amount of child support that will be awarded.” (About the Child Support Calculator)
