Legal Question in Family Law in Arizona
This is concerning family law. I have filed with the courts for paternity and child support as well as with the states Department of Economic Security(DES). The other party was served by myself and DES, should I close out one of the cases?
1 Answer from Attorneys
IF you are still receiving benefits, child support WILL BE HANDLED by the DES case. You have no choice. AND, YOU CANNOT get rid if the paternity/custody/parenting time case, because the DES case CANNOT address those issues. The only issue arises if you are no linger receiving benefits. There can be advantages to keeping DES on board, even if you are no longer receiving benefits.
