Arizona
I need some help, I have court on mon. for child support and I'm trying to prepare all my paperwork to present and I want to know more about arrears or what paperwork I should take in.
Then you bring in your record of payments and the court order(s) showing how much you are supposed to pay and calculate how far behind you are. You will have to add interest.This is a modification from the judge telling me earlier this year that I was behind like 20k. I'm paying child support every month now, but I don't know how the judge came out with his numbers for the arrears.
So... You've known since MARCH that the court believes you owe $20k, and for a month that you were to be in court on Monday? Yet you wait 'til 2 days before? Oy...Since march, less than a month I started a new job which pays slightly less but its way close to where I live. That's when I filed the paperwork with the court to try to change my payments.
Add up the total you should have paid by now.K thanks, but is there a way I can calculate the arrears myself beforehand? My friend told me about the AZ website where I can calculate the child support but I couldn't come up with anything on arrears. Does anyone know how they're usually calculated?
We weren't in court, so we have no way of knowing. You've been told how to calculate what you think you owe - you'll need to ask the judge how s/he calculated it. You'll have to ask the judge how s/he calculated it if the numbers don't match.I'm sorry if I might not be asking my question the right way. I'm trying to find out how the judge determined the arrears amount back in march. All he asked me was how much I made an hr.
I'd tell you to hire an attorney, but then you'd be spending money that should go to your child.So I had my modification court today and I asked the judge that I didn't agree with the amount of the arrears I was ordered to pay. I told him that I had all my taxes from the years he order to prove how much I made. He said that I would have to come to an agreement with mom to see if she could agree on a number or file for another hearing to present my proof. I'm still confused.
