A: Unfortunately child support does not cease until you seek a modified order? Do you think mother would sign a waiver of the arrears which have been technically accruing?

No matter what you need to take steps right away. Every month you wait is a month you lose. Arizona does not allow retroactive modifications of child support. Thus, if Mom will not agree to sign something, the sooner you act the better.

We can certainly help you consider and then pursue your options for your . This is obviously a very important matter, and you should not go in alone.

One of our attorneys can explain the issues and procedures better in person. As you can imagine, there is too much to cover via email. We offer free 1/2 hour consultations, in which we can discuss your matter in detail.

Please call us directly to discuss the specifics of your matter, or contact my assistant Maddy or my paralegal Jerica to schedule your free 1/2 hour consultation.
