Arizona garnishes employee wages as part of its child support enforcement measures to collect overdue child support. However, there are procedural loopholes for independent contractors, such as ride-share drivers for Lyft and Uber.
Arizona grandparents' rights
One of the child custody issues facing couples undergoing divorce are whether grandparents have any visitation rights. However, Arizona law provides limited rights for these visits.
Determining custody of the family business
A spouse's business is an important asset when their marriage ends, particularly in a high asset divorce. Knowing its worth even before divorce negotiations may be vital and helps assure that there is a fair buyout or sale to the other spouse.
What can a prenup do?
Couples in Arizona can enter a prenuptial agreement before their marriage that requires the disclosure of their assets and can help resolve issues if the couple ever divorce. These agreements, however, have advantages and disadvantages.
Staying involved with custody
Fathers have gained equal rights to child custody and asserting fathers' rights can overcome the judicial bias for awarding custody to their wives. Accordingly, divorce should not be separation from the children and fathers should plan for custody, visitation and co-parenting.
