A.R.S. § 25-1201 to 25-1342
A.R.S. §25-503(O), §25-320(F), §25-501
A support arrearage reduced to a final written money judgment accrues interest at the rate of ten per cent per annum and accrues interest only on the principal and not on interest. A past support judgment entered on or after September 26, 2008 does not accrue interest for any time period.
An annual collections fee of $35.00 will be charged to a never-TANF obligee if the obligee receives more than $550.00 in support during the federal fiscal year (October 1st to September 30th).
A.R.S. § 25-1221
The $35.00 fee is charged to the never-TANF obligee who has received at least $550.00 in support payments during the federal fiscal year (October 1st - Sept. 30th). The fee is retained from future collections once the $550.00 threshold is met.
Yes, in some circumstances. If, after the threshold of $550.00 has been met and no further support payments are received and issued, or less than $525.00 in support payments are received and issued, a notice is sent to the obligee to pay the fee by a specified date.
Arizona's requirements are outlined under A.R.S. §46-444. The support order does not follow the child in Arizona. When another jurisdiction sends an order to be enforced where one person is the payee, but wants it enforced for the benefit of a different payee, please provide the authority for the transfer of rights to the other payee.
The $35.00 fee is retained from child support collections after the first $550.00 has been distributed to the obligee and is charged to each case if the obligee has more than one case.
For an order of assignment, the first employer shall not deduct for 14 calendar days. Future employers may implement sooner than 14 days. An IWO is binding 14 days after receipt.
Employers are liable for amounts not paid, attorney's fees and costs. They may be subject to contempt.(A.R.S. §25-504(H) and A.R.S. §25-505.01(M))
Employers are liable for amounts not paid to the Clerk of the Court or support payment clearinghouse pursuant to order of assignment, reasonable attorney's fees and costs and other expenses incurred in procuring compliance. They may be subject to contempt.(A.R.S. §25-504(H) and A.R.S. §25-505.01(M))
The obligation for current child support shall be fully met before any payments under an order of assignment may be applied to payments of arrearages. If an obligor is obligated to pay child support for more than one family and the amount available for withholding is not sufficient to meet the total combined child support obligation, any amounts withheld from the obligor's income shall be allocated to each family by the employer or payor as follows: 1. The amount of current child support ordered in each case shall be added to obtain the total child support obligation. 2. The ordered amount in each case shall be divided by the total child support obligation to obtain a percentage of the total amount due. 3. The amount available from the obligor's income shall be multiplied by the percentage under paragraph two to obtain the amount to be allocated to each family. See A.R.S. § 25-501.01(L) and § 25-504(I)
Also A.R.S. § 25-812
A.R.S. §25-1221

The court may award past support for up to three years. Arizona is unable to obtain orders reduced to judgment specifically for reimbursement of state arrears only.

All certified orders related to the case (including termination, change of custody, or vacated orders), a sworn statement of arrears, and a complete certified calculation/payment history from the first order forward. If a complete payment history cannot be obtained, provide an Affidavit of Direct Payments from the custodial parent. The Letter of Transmittal Requesting Registration form must be complete, checked for either enforcement or modification, and the noncustodial parent's current address and complete SSN must be on the statement. If the address changes, we require an updated Registration form. The arrears balance and dates must match on the Transmittal, Letter of Transmittal Requesting Registration, and the financial information. NOTE: Please use only BLACK INK and no alterations to or white-out on the documents. Our Family Court Rule requires single-sided documents. If we receive double-sided documents and the court refuses to file them because of the rule, the requesting jurisdiction must provide single-sided documents. Once a support order or income withholding order is registered for enforcement, it will be subject to the same procedures as an order issued by a tribunal of Arizona.
The following enforcement remedies require judicial procedures: civil contempt, judicial income withholding, judgment on arrears, and federal criminal contempt.

Arizona requires a Transmittal #1, a copy of the support order and a payment record from the requesting state.
The DCSS provides the obligor with written notice of the intent to suspend the NCP's driver's license based upon the criteria of nonpayment. If the obligor fails to pay after the notice is sent, the obligor's case is forwarded to the Attorney General's Office for a court hearing for driver's license suspension. A judicial officer determines the license suspension is appropriate and notifies the Arizona Motor Vehicle Department for driver's license suspension. With regard to low income parents or hardship exemptions, the amount of cases referred by the DCSS for this action are limited to extreme cases of willful nonpayment.
An obligor must owe at least six months of child support arrears and demonstrates willful nonpayment.
Arrears must equal to at least six month's child support arrears.
On petition or motion to the court.
The court holds a review hearing to determine the obligor's noncompliance. When the judicial officer finds the obligor in compliance, the court sends a certificate of compliance to the Arizona Motor Vehicle Department.
The court may restrict or suspend the obligor's driver's license for nonpayment of child support. A restriction will allow the obligor to continue to drive to work, look for employment, and parenting time.

Arizona reviews for a modification upon request of either party on non-TANF cases, and automatically every three years on TANF cases. There must be substantial and continuing change of circumstances if a request for review is made in less than three years. This can be done by a hearing or by simplified guidelines procedures. Arizona modifies a support order when the oblgor is incarcerated, the obligor is receiving SSI, or the obligor's income is not compatible with the child support obligation.
The application of the guidelines compared to the current child support order must result in an order that varies by 15% or more, up or down, from the existing child support order. A 15% change is not required when there is no existing medical support order.
Other criteria include a determination of disability, there is a change in custody/parenting time, one or more children of the parties has emancipated, birth of additional children, medical changes or premium costs.
When the SSA disability received by the child for a given month is less than the obligor's current support obligation, the obligor must pay the difference unless the court modifies the order to equal the benefit received. If the SSA disability received by the child is greater than the obligor's current support obligation, Arizona only credits up to the current support amount.
A.R.S. §46-444 was enacted to allow the DCSS to "redirect" support money to a caretaker. The intent of the statute is to allow the transfer of current support for those cases with: Arizona orders or court orders registered in Arizona, and All the children in the order are with the caretaker for whom the support will be transferred. The transfer of support was intended for current support only. If arrears are owed or if spousal maintenance is owed to the obligee, these amounts are not to be redirected to the caretaker.
