How do I file for Child Support and Spousal Support without the help of an attorney?
My divorce was finalized in California and I have moved to Arizona. My Ex-husband has stopped sending checks for both Child Support and Spousal Support. He earns $140,000 a year. I don’t have money to hire an attorney. Where do I get the papers to file to receive Support money. What are the exact things I should do?
Contact the child support office in the county where your former spouse resides. Be prepared to give them his social security number if you have it. Also, be prepared to listen to the whole phone menu, this can be frustrating, they may ask you to give information which you do not have, like your case number and workers name. You may need to write to that county child support office.
Where you live in Arizona check around the local county clerk/ court office…for an Access to Justice legal aid clinic. They can help you. Good luck. Sincerely, LB
Go to the domestic relations office in YOUR county to file.
