Legal Question in Family Law in Arizona

My Boyfriend of 1.5 years is divorced with 2 children ages 4 and 7. His ex-wife has recently remairred and is threatening me over child support. That is we get married she will make me pay. I would like to know if we are to become married can she collect child support from me if we file seperatly?? My boyfriend collects disability but is not employed due to his disability. We both want to move on with our lives but i dont want to "Owe" her anything. We see the kids regularly and buy them clothes and shoes and things for school.

She cannot get child support form you, and your income cannot be touched or considered in child support issues.

We can certainly contact her on your behalf and convince her to back off.

One of our attorneys can explain the issues and procedures better in person. As you can imagine, there is too much to cover via email. We offer free 1/2 hour consultations, in which we can discuss your matter in detail.

Please call us directly to discuss the specifics of your matter, or contact my assistant Gina or my paralegal Jennifer to schedule your free 1/2 hour consultation.
