CHILD SUPPORT GUIDELINE (SIMPLIFIED MODIFICATION) APPOINTMENTS
The Child Support Services staff will provide
assistance in completing the paperwork for the Simplified Modification
procedure or for completing a Parent’s Worksheet. The Parent’s
Worksheet is the form that determines what the child support amount
may be. This appointment can help parties determine if a change
in their circumstances could have an effect on the child support
amount. Child Support Services makes this service available to anyone who
would like a calculation of their potential support amount, whether
or not a case has been filed with the court. To schedule an appointment,
please call (602) 506-3762. At the scheduled appointment time, the party will sign in at the
downtown Phoenix court complex, located at 201 W. Jefferson, Family
Court Filing Counter Window #10, at the Mesa court complex, located
at 222 E. Javelina Avenue. A judgment data sheet will be completed by the party at the time of the appointment
The Appointment Specialist will take the party to his/her office to enter the information provided by the
party. The forms that are prepared are the Parents Worksheet, Child
Support Order, and Order of Assignment.
WHAT ARE THE REASONS FOR SCHEDULING A SIMPLIFIED MODIFICATION APPOINTMENT?
Simplified Modification Appointments are scheduled for
one of two reasons: 1) When a party is considering
changing an existing court order for child
support or 2) If a party has been served with a Request for Support
Modification filed by the other party and they are responding.
