Steadfast Phoenix, Arizona Child and Spousal Support Lawyer
Children have the right to receive fair child support
Children should never have to worry about issues such as shelter, food and education. It is the parents' duty to provide these necessities for their children regardless of whether they are living together. To learn more about child support rights from an experienced child and spousal support attorney, contact the Law Offices of Lindsay E. Benjamin, P.C., in Phoenix.
Under the Arizona Child Support Guidelines, total child support should approximate the amount that would have been spent on the children if the parents and children were living together. Both parents are obligated to contribute a proportionate share of their income to support their children.
Attorney Lindsay E. Benjamin, is well-versed in the technicalities of the Arizona Child Support Guidelines. The amount of child support is calculated based on factors such as:
- The gross income of both parents
- The number and ages of children
- Child support obligations for children of other relationships
- Spousal maintenance paid or received
- Children's medical, dental, and vision insurance costs
- Childcare costs
- The amount of time each parent spends with the children
Former spouses may have a right to spousal support
While there are no clear guidelines on spousal support in Arizona, certain situations may entitle a former spouse to file for such support. Among these are:
- Inability to be self-sufficient
- Special circumstances that call for the spouse to stay at home with the children
- Past contributions to the education of the other spouse
