Once the parent that owes child support payments is behind 30 days, the parent with full custody may file a contempt petition. The parent responsible for paying is required to appear in court, and if they fail to do so, they are bound to be found in contempt and can see jail time and/or fines.
To enforce a child support order, you will need to start by filing a petition for contempt and/or enforcement in the court that issued the order. When you file the petition for contempt/enforcement, under ARS 25-320 the court will issue an order to appear and schedule a contempt hearing.
