Legal Question in Family Law in Arizona

You might be relieved of the obligation to pay child support, but you must file something with the court to terminate/modify your obligation (it doesn't happen automatically just because he is incarcerated. I recommend you speak with an attorney for additional information and to discuss your best course of action.

I have never looked into that exact issue, but I believe a strong argument can be made that you should not be paying support, at least not to the other parent.

We can certainly help you consider and then pursue your options for terminating child support. This is obviously a very important matter, and you should not go in alone.

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 Alicia or my paralegal Jennifer to schedule your free 1/2 hour consultation.
