Legal Question in Family Law in Arizona

Per the Ruling:

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the parties shall split the cost of 3 visits per year for the children's travel expenses to Colorado. These expenses are only for plane flights. All food and entertainment expenses during the visit are the Father's responsibility and were factored in the child support worksheet. All other travel expenses for any additional trips will be born by Father.

What we cannot seem to agree upon is which flight costs should be split. I believe we should split the first 3 and her share must be paid as incurred; any additional flights would be my responsibility. She says she is going to wait until year's end, review all flight receipts for the year, and send reimbursement for half of 3 average flights. In your experience, which is a more likely situation, or how would you interpret the Ruling?

I would think her interpretation is flawed and unreasonable. The expenses should be shared as incurred.

We can certainly help you consider and then pursue your options for "convincing" her of this. Perhaps a demand letter from us would work?

One of our attorneys can explain the issues and procedures better in person. As you can imagine, there is too much to cover via email. We offer free 1/2 hour consultations, in which we can discuss your matter in detail.

Please call us directly to discuss the specifics of your matter, or contact my assistant Alicia or my paralegal Jennifer to schedule your free 1/2 hour consultation.
