Answer:

First, please begin by reading the article on this website titled “Child Support” for general information on child support payments. Child support is determined in accordance with A.R.S. 25-320 . Courts will follow the Arizona Child Support Guidelines when determining whether child support should be issued. The guidelines can be found here.For more information on Arizona Statutes regarding child support please review Title 25 Marital and Domestic Relation of the Arizona Revised Statutes. 

In Arizona the child support calculator is used to determine the amount a parent pays in child support. A link to the child support calculator can be found here.
