Changes To Arizona Child Support Guidelines
As you may now, effective January 1, 2005, there have been numerous changes to the Arizona Child Support Guidelines. Over the next couple of days, we will make note of some of the more significant changes.
Section 2 -- Premises
A custodial parent may be ordered to pay child support.
A premise is added to clarify that the custodial parent could be ordered to pay child support. This can occur in the unusual circumstance where a custodial parent earns an extremely high income and the non-custodial parent earns a low income and exercises in excess of 100 days of parenting time per year.
This was not seen as a substantive change to the Guidelines. It was apparently intended only to make explicit what was previously implicit.
