It is possible to help a new caretaker of a child get child support through a process called a Transfer of Support Rights. This is just a transfer of support payments to the caretaker. Assuming the payments are going through the Arizona Clearinghouse, you will need to provide proof that you have had the child for at least 30 consecutive days. Both parents under the current child support order will be notified about the change in payments as well. It should be noted that if you are receiving public assistance for yourself and a child included in the child support order, the Division of Child Support Enforcement (DCSE) may retain these payments while you are receiving public assistance. The easiest thing to do is fill out an application with the Department of Economic Security. An application can be found in various ways and are described in the chapter under the section “How Do I Sign-up with the Arizona Clearinghouse?”
