Question: Can I just let my ex-spouse take care of the kids?

Answer: During a marriage, after a divorce or legal separation, and even if the parents are unmarried, both have an obligation to provide for the support of all minor children (ARS §25-501). Either spouse or parent may be held liable for necessities furnished to the other or to minor children. The state, a parent, or a guardian may file a request to establish child support (ARS §25-502 (D)). An income assignment can be obtained that will automatically deduct the amount from your paycheck (ARS §25-504).
