Arizona Child Support Guidelines

  1. The Arizona Child Support Guidelines are used to calculate the support amount and follow the Income Shares Model. The model was developed by the Child Support Guidelines Project of the National Center for State Courts. Both parents' incomes are used to calculate the amount of child support that one parent will pay to the other household to financially support the children.
  1. Arizona reviews its Child Support Guidelines every four (4) years, as required by state and federal law. The Arizona Supreme Court (Court) adopts the Child Support Guidelines in Administrative Orders.
