Leyes de Manutención Infantil de Arizona (2026): Pautas y Calculadora

Preguntas frecuentes

¿Cómo se calcula la manutención infantil en Arizona?

Arizona usa el Modelo de Ingresos Compartidos, que considera los ingresos brutos de ambos padres, el número de hijos, el tiempo de crianza, los costos del seguro médico y los gastos de cuidado infantil. El tribunal busca la Obligación Básica de Manutención Infantil en una tabla según el ingreso combinado, y luego la divide proporcionalmente entre los padres. Los hijos mayores de 12 años reciben un ajuste del 10% por hijo mayor.

¿Puedo modificar mi orden de manutención infantil en Arizona?

Sí, pero debe demostrar un cambio sustancial y continuo en las circunstancias, como pérdida de empleo, discapacidad o un cambio significativo de ingreso. En los casos del Título IV-D, puede solicitar una revisión cada tres años sin necesidad de demostrar un cambio de circunstancias. Presente el Formulario CSE-1178A ante la DCSS o presente una petición directamente ante el tribunal.

¿Qué pasa si no pago la manutención infantil en Arizona?

Arizona puede embargar salarios, retener reembolsos de impuestos y premios de lotería, embargar cuentas bancarias, imponer gravámenes sobre bienes, suspender licencias, denegar pasaportes y reportar la morosidad a las agencias de crédito. El impago intencional es un delito grave de Clase 6 bajo el ARS 25-511, sancionable con hasta 1.5 años de prisión. La manutención impaga también acumula un interés anual del 10%.

¿Cuándo termina la manutención infantil en Arizona?

La manutención infantil termina el día en que el hijo cumple los dieciocho años. Si el hijo sigue matriculado en la escuela secundaria o en un programa de GED a los 18 años, la manutención continúa hasta la graduación o hasta el último día del mes en que el hijo cumple 19 años, lo que ocurra primero. La manutención puede continuar indefinidamente para un hijo con una discapacidad que comenzó antes de los 18 años y le impide mantenerse por sí mismo.

¿Afectará el nuevo matrimonio mi obligación de manutención infantil en Arizona?

El nuevo matrimonio por sí solo no es motivo para modificar la manutención infantil en Arizona. Generalmente, el ingreso de un nuevo cónyuge no se considera en el cálculo de la manutención infantil. Sin embargo, si el nuevo matrimonio genera otros cambios calificados, como un nuevo hijo o circunstancias financieras cambiadas, podría tener motivos para solicitar una modificación.

§ 25-511Failure of parent to provide for child; classificationVigente
A. Except as provided in section 25-501, subsection F, any parent of a minor child who knowingly fails to furnish reasonable support for the parent's child is guilty of a class 6 felony. B. It is an affirmative defense to a charge of a violation of subsection A of this section that the defendant has complied with a valid court order that was in effect for the time period charged and that set forth an amount of support for the minor child or was unable to furnish reasonable support. Inability to furnish reasonable support is not a defense if the defendant voluntarily remained idle, voluntarily decreased his income or voluntarily incurred other financial obligations. C. The trier of fact, in determining whether the defendant has failed to furnish reasonable support, shall consider all assets, earnings and entitlements of the defendant and whether the defendant has made all reasonable efforts to obtain the necessary funds. On a showing of previous employment or lack of a physical or mental disability precluding employment, the trier of fact may infer that the defendant is capable of full-time employment at least at the federal adult minimum wage.

§ 25-516Lien; priority; recording; information statement; payoff amount; releaseVigente
A. Notwithstanding section 25-514, in a title IV-D case an order to pay child support creates a lien by operation of law on all property presently owned and later acquired by the obligor to secure payment of the obligation. The department may perfect a lien by filing a copy of the child support order with the county recorder in the county in which the obligor has property or with a state agency or a political subdivision of this state that files personal property liens for recording on its official record. A liquidated judgment is not required to establish a lien. Recordation is constructive notice of the lien to the creditors of the owner or subsequent purchasers, against the personal or real property presently owned or later acquired.  The lien amount includes the amount owed at the time of recording and any amounts subsequently accrued. The lien has priority over other liens against this property except for liens arising from mortgages, deeds of trust, contracts, conveyances or security agreements created by the property owner and previously recorded or filed. B.
