New Proposed Child Support Guideline Changes (COBS)

Phoenix Family Law Attorney Counseling Men and Fathers' About Their Rights and the New Proposed Child Support Guideline Changes

The state of Arizona has proposed a new child support policy that will bring back the concept of a debtors' prison and will now potentially cost men and fathers thousands of extra dollars in support every month. This proposed model has been named the "Child Outcome-Based Support" Model ("COBS") and would dramatically affect how support payments are calculated. This new payment scheme is targeted at managing disparate standards of living between parents.

This means if you are a man or a father who makes substantially more than the mother of your children, you are going to be penalized for being professionally successful. At the law offices of Mark A. Werner , we are here to help you protect yourself and your assets if COBS is adopted and goes into effect at the start of 2011. To learn more about this legislation, please do not hesitate to contact our office today to set up a FREE consultation. Our firm is designed to exclusively represent men and fathers' in all family law matters, including child support modifications and calculations.

Attorney Mark A. Werner and his firm believe the impact of these potential changes are something that every father needs to be aware of. Additionally, child support will now directly be tied to how to physical custody and parenting time TO PHYSICAL CUSTODY AND PARENTING TIME. Therefore, it will now be important to spend as much time as possible with your children and to make sure the support amount is calculated precisely.

These newly proposed child support guidelines go far beyond what is fair and equitable. This new model is clearly attempting to role spousal maintenance into the child support order. In many cases, child support obligations will increase by 50%, 100%, 200% or more. This may bankrupt many men and lead to fathers' losing their homes. Do not let this happen to you!

Although one of the goals is to prevent people from being delinquent with respect to their child support obligations, the approach being taken by the committee proposing these rules is going to penalize men and fathers unfairly. You are responsible for paying your child support payment even before your mortgage. If you earn more than $10,000 a month, these new payment guidelines could substantially change your financial landscape and you may now be responsible for hundreds of thousands of dollars more in support payments until your children reach adulthood.

You cannot afford to plan for these changes alone. We are here to help you, fight for you and protect your financial livelihood.
