In child support mediation in Arizona, you and your co-parent work with a neutral professional to set a fair amount, decide how payments are made, and create a plan that fits real life without going to court.

Experienced Child Support Mediators

At Aurit Mediation, sessions are led by experienced Arizona mediators who keep discussions balanced, child-focused, and solution-oriented. We explain how Arizona’s rules apply, reality-check numbers, and prepare clear, court-ready documents. When a parenting plan is part of your case, child custody mediation can be handled alongside child support in the same process. You stay in control of decisions, and our flat-fee pricing removes hourly billing surprises.

What Is Child Support Mediation

Child support in Arizona follows statewide Child Support Guidelines and uses the Income Shares Model, which considers both parents’ incomes, parenting time, and certain child-related costs; our process also incorporates the official Child Support Calculator to produce a clear worksheet.

If a different amount better serves your child and circumstances, we can document a deviation with clear reasons so the court can approve it.
