WhatI am in the process of becoming divorced. In the original petition there was no request for child support, but I have come to realize that we will need that additional income in order to to survive. My hearing(default) will be in 2 weeks. No order for support was filed with the petition, and the petition requests $0 for child support. The letter I recieved from my Superior Court tells me bring the original divorce decree, a child support order, and 2 copies of each. So my question is...Can I include the child support amount in the decree even though the original petition requests $0 ? When I work through the parents worksheet it comes up with $322.00/month..witch we could really use...duh...or should I wait, let the divorce become final, and then go back and request a child support modification. I really don't want to mess up the whole divorce since it is by default...but whats in the childrens best intrest? p.s. this is in AZ...thanks for any help
