Determining What Child Support Calculator to Use

To produce a Parent Worksheet, you must use the Arizona child support calculator. There are online child support calculators available based on Arizona guidelines. The calculator you use is decided by when the order or modification is entered.

There are online child support calculators available based on current and past Arizona guidelines. If the case is determined by default, the guidelines that are in effect at the time of filing are used. In situations where both parents are determining child support and the guidelines have changed since the initial filing, jointly, they may determine what guidelines to use; those at time of filing or at the time the order is entered.

The Child Support Calculator allows the user to calculate a projected child support amount based on the Arizona Child Support pdf Guidelines (469 KB)  that are in effect at the time of filing.  A child support calculator is not created every year.
