Q. The father of my son is on the birth certificate we never been married what right does he have when it comes to custody A: In Arizona, the fact that he is on the birth certificate means that paternity has been legally established under the law. Generally speaking, This does give him some rights, however rights for parenting time and legal decision making still reside with Mother as the defacto custodian of the child. Any time he wants with the child is at your discretion for now. He does, however, have the right to school records, medical records, and other information similar about the child. He also has the right to petition the Court to obtain an order for parenting time and legal decision making access other than what he is being allowed. This is a very complex question with a lot of caveats and unknown
Q. Ex has filed to change child support if I inherited a house will it affect the amount I pay? 50/50 custody in Az A: The answer is "it depends" while child support in Arizona is generally based upon earnings from a job, there are instances where child support may be ordered based upon resources. Further, if you receive income from this house (such as rental income) it may also be countable (even in addition to your income from wages). However, if you intend to reside in this house as your primary residence it is unlikely that it will be counted in the calculation. There are many factors that can go into the determination of what impacts your child support amount. Most firms offer a free 30 minute legal consultation for issues such as this one. I recommend speaking with a knowledgeable attorney
Q. My child is 17 moved out and is demanding her child support go to her directly. A: Arizona child support does not belong to the child. It is not her right to receive it, though the other party could potentially file a modification to change or reduce it. Further, in certain cases where the State is involved, if the child is out of the house the child support paid can be re-directed to the individual who is watching her. There are several factors to this, and most attorneys provide a free consultation to discuss these.
