Asking or not asking for child support will have no impact on your custody case. The Court does not consider child support when determining custody, but once it determines custody, the amount of time awarded impacts the child support amount.

If the child has not lived in Arizona for the greater part of the last 6 months, then Arizona does not have “home state jurisdiction”. Currently, the matter would LIKELY have to be pursued in Ohio. I WOULD NEED TO KNOW MORE to determine if there are other theories that would allow Arizona... View More

In Arizona, as in other states, child custody decisions are primarily based on the best interests of the child. The fact that you moved to Arizona with the mutual agreement of the child's father and for the purpose of being closer to your family support system can be an important factor in... View More

In Arizona, child support calculations are typically based on the income of both parents at the time of the divorce or separation. However, if there has been a substantial change in circumstances, such as a significant decrease in the father's income, he may seek a modification of the child... View More

Did California issue a child support order? If so, it must be registered here for the custody case, in which support must be determined. An Arizona court cannot modify the California support order unless it's properly registered and in front of the Arizona court. For that reason, I don't... View More

Yes, your daughter can request child support.
But let's be clear on what child support is. First, it's not meant to equalize the living situation between the parents. Second, it's done on a formula. The fact he has a two-bedroom and bought a Camaro are not relevant to how... View More

You should file a Petition to Enforce and ask the Court to order him to amend his taxes for those years within thirty days of the Court's order. The Court will likely schedule a conference and evidentiary hearing. At that time, you should bring with you whatever forms you need him to sign in... View More

If that's what he is requesting you do, you should do it. Explain to the lawyer what is going on. A good lawyer will take to Father and say, "Telling the other parent to communicate through me about the children does not help your case."

The question really hinges on whether he is current for the 2022 tax year. He can be behind overall, but if he paid all that was he supposed to in 2022, he can claim the child. If he didn't, you can claim the child. Remember: The parent not claiming the child needs to sign Form 8332 in order... View More

I'd start by calling his employer and ask them if he still works there.
If they're not willing to talk to you, you can subpoena them and ask them to provide the other parent's dates of employment and recent pay stubs.
