Summary

The bill changes how Arizona courts calculate child support by requiring them to use only documented income, not imputed earnings. It also establishes stricter payment methods after a dishonored check, allows the state to collect fees, and creates procedures for security, bond forfeiture, and periodic review of support orders. The changes affect parents who owe or receive child support, the state child support enforcement agency, and courts handling these cases.
