Child Support

questions & answers

Question: I filed for simplified child support modification back in March. Per the guidline my ex had 20 days to request a hearing regarding the forms. She finally requested a hearing but she did it at 25 days. Will the court still grant her this or not because she did not do it in the designated time frame?

Answer: The answer to your question is governed by Rules 24.1 and 91.1 of the Arizona Rules of Family Law Procedure. If your ex lives in Arizona, she has 20 days to respond.  If she lives out of state, she has 30 days to respond.  Courts are sometimes lenient on these issues.  It may depend on the circumstances and facts of your case.
