Q: If I have a 50/50 court order nochild support (each parent pays for the 3 1/2 days we both have the child) will I have
To Pay child support once I get married? (Me and the mother were never married)
A: You should not be required to pay child support because you would basically be paying yourself since you and your new wife would share the marital estate. You should request the Court vacate the child custody and child support order once the marriage is official. The order will remain in place until modified by the Court and they will only do so if one of you asks them to.

A: in Arizona, Marriage of the biological parents terminates any pre-existing child support order as a matter of law, so while you can go an get an order terminating it, it is not necessary. If the State child support services is involved, simply bring them your marriage certificate and they will stop collecting the order.
