Legal Question in Family Law in Arizona

Sure. You state that the court has reverted to the original court order. What were the child custody and support terms of the original order? Also, why did the court revert to the original order? Why has she "removed" the child? Has she done so with or without court permission? Any time when you can prove that you had the sole or primary physical custody of the child, you should be able to avoid any back child support under the current guidelines. However, in the future, the court is looking at guidelines where the non-custodial parent is in a much worse financial condition than the custodial parent, making the custodial parent actually pay some child support to try to equalize the situation a little bit or at least put the child above the poverty line. I'm not saying this was your situation at all, I'm just letting you know what some of the factors are that courts are or may consider.

Let me know if I can help further.

How recently did the Court make this decision? Typically, child swupport can NOT be retroactively modified. BUT, there can be some creative arguments if you could prove that Mother agreed to a modified siuation.

IF THE COURT ENTERED RECENT FINDINGS, THEN TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE.
