1. Alimony or as it is sometimes called, Spousal Maintenance

2. Child support

Arizona support when referring to spousal maintenance or alimony, as it is commonly known, can be permanent or short-term.

Regarding payment, it can be done as a onetime lump sum, monthly installments, or as a division of assets.

Either way, there are several ways to diminish your Arizona support responsibility.

To take advantage of the system, you need to understand how the system really works in Florida.

Alimony in Arizona can be set at the discretion of your county judge in Family court if you and your ex can’t reach an agreement.

Disposable income is a major factor in alimony. Disposable income is defined as your total income less taxes and necessary living expenses.

After your taxes and living expenses are paid the remaining amount is known as "disposable income".

It is the gap in disposable income between her disposable income and yours that will determine whether or not you pay alimony and how much.

There are right and wrong ways to accomplish this. It’s important that understand how the system works and use a proven strategy that is guaranteed to get you the results you want.

Arizona Child Support is an unusual issue because unlike alimony, it’s not left to the discretion of a judge, but calculated using Arizona guideline formulas.

Little is subject to investigation, and that means your disposable income is not a factor in the ultimate decision.

Forida child support is determined through Arizona guideline formulas that take into consideration your income, you ex-wife’s income, how many children you have, and the amount of time you spend each month with your kids.

Your expenses, her expenses, and the children's primary expenses are not factors when calculating Child Support in Florida.

It should be noted that added expenses like day care and medical expenses typically get added to guideline support amounts.

For instance, if one of your children requires medical treatment that isn’t covered by medical insurance, like braces, this medical expense will be added to your monthly support payments.

Chances are good you’ll be on the hook for roughly half of any “additional” expenses.

If parents agree to a child support amount by avoiding the court, the judge will by and large allow this agreed to child support quantity.
