We understand what this notice indicates but can't find any resources on who the notice is submitted to or in what format. Does it have to be stamped into the court or just sent to the other party?
answered on Mar 20, 2018
The Answer is found under Rule 2, Arizona Rules of Family Law Procedure. You can electronically file it through the Court's electronic filing system and a copy will go to your judge.
A copy must also go to the other party.

So my ex wife fears that if I know she is alone then I will try to harass her at home or worse. I have "harassed" her, but only via text. I sent multiple messages one after another. My opinion is that I was just trying to get her to talk to me and understand how I felt, but she considered... View More

Unless your parenting plan requires a parent to inform another parent of where a child is sleeping, she does not need to inform you (unless the child is now living with someone other than the parent).
He chose to pay off my car for me and refused to take any payments from me since it was for "us". I unfortunately had to break up with him months later due to his controlling behavior, etc. Now he is insisting on full payment for the amount of the vehicle. I have continued making monthly...

It depends. If he is the only one on the promissory note (or loan), that he is responsible for paying that debt.
If he put the car title in your name, it is definitely a gift.
As long as you are NOT on the note, you don't have to worry about your credit score.
Hope that helps! Randi
Want to make sure this doesn't cause issues in the long run when I do file.

Yes, but you probably should not do it right before you get a divorce or legal separation.
answered on Feb 21, 2018
Only if the check is for spousal maintenance or child support. If it is simply a settlement check, as long as you agree to the terms of the settlement, you can simply cash the check. However, be careful. If you don't agree to ALL the terms of the divorce, signing and cashing the check could... View More
I don’t understand which mother that I pay child support to should get more? Shouldn’t it be equal? Or will the one who already gets my child support be paid a high percentage?
answered on Feb 21, 2018
I can only advise you regarding Arizona law, as I am not licensed to practice in Iowa.
There are many considerations regarding the amount of child support to be ordered by the Court in Arizona.
The court considers the respective incomes of the parents, the parenting schedule... View More
Think it's yearly percentage but not sure if they accrue it each month on the balance owed or if it's accrued at the end of the year as one lump sum.
answered on Feb 13, 2018
You can request an official Arrearage Calculation with the Court. In the meantime, you can obtain an unofficial payment history through the Court and on line.
This is in the state of Arizona the wife also went to school with the judge

If there is a court order in place for her to go, you need to let her go unless he truly is a danger to her. If that is the case, you should file a Petition for Order of Protection and put her on it. She sheriff will serve it at no cost to you. There is no cost to file.
You must allege... View More
to let me see him or talk to him I think he's going to take him to Mexico what can I do
answered on Feb 7, 2018
I would start by obtaining a copy of the birth certificate and asking the sheriff or the police to assist you with having your son returned to you from the Father.
I can only give you information regarding Arizona law, but I suggest you begin a Legal Decision-Making (Custody), Parenting... View More
Ex said she would file affidavit, but no go. What are chances of getting Judge to give me credit with proof?
answered on Feb 6, 2018
If you have copies of canceled checks, for a specific amount, each month and can prove that to the judge, you may be able to get credit for those 2 years of payments.
If you made periodic payments in varying amounts, you may be able to get credit, but the Court could decide you made... View More
She is the complainant in this child support case. Had my address, yet I was never served. Turns out she signed for them! Is this legal? I was unaware of the court date, and now don't feel like I have sufficient time to prepare.
answered on Feb 6, 2018
It is definitely NOT acceptable for her to sign for the documents! I would call up the judicial assistant for the judge or commissioner (you can find that information at superiorcourt.maricopa.gov) and let them know you will be filing an Emergency Motion to Continue.
Then you must file it... View More

answered on Feb 5, 2018
The commissioner is correct. As long as you have paid all of your child support by December 31 of any given year, you can claim your child for purposes of the minor child tax credit and minor child tax exemptions if it is your year to do so.
You can also order an official arrearage... View More
I was divorced in 2013. I have a minor child that will turn 18 on Aug 12, 2018 and will graduate from high school in May of 2018. The divorce docs incorrectly state she will not graduate until May of 2019. There is a court ordered garnishment that is effective until May of 2019. I need to... View More

You may want to file a Motion to Modify Order of Assignment. You may be able to call the attorney general's office and have them take care of this for you.

You are not required to have an attorney, but it is a good idea to have one, as an experienced attorney can help you navigate the process.

Child Support is based upon a formulation which takes into account each parent's income, other children for whom they support or reside with, child care expenses, health insurance and how much time each parent spends with the child.

What if the father files first knowing the mother was going to and asks for child support even though he makes about double what the mother makes? Will he be granted support even though he makes more? Will not filing first prevent the mother from being awarded child support?
answered on Feb 2, 2018
One need not file first to be entitled to child support. Even if one parent makes more than the other parent, he or she may be entitled to child support.
Regarding child support, the Court seeks to provide for the child a lifestyle that is a close to the one the child enjoyed, although... View More
5 months later the petitioner wants to proceed. Do I respond to the original request
answered on Feb 2, 2018
If the petitioner wants to proceed five months after you were served, you can certainly respond to the original divorce papers (Petition for Dissolution).
You may want to submit a Notice to the Court that you and Petitioner did reconcile that that is why a timely Response was not filed,... View More

I recommend you first request the court order an arrearage calculation. You certainly can then show the dates you sent the checks in.
Most orders state that child support is due on the first of the month, but if you are paid twice a month, the funds will come out of each paycheck, as a... View More
