Alimony Child Support in Arkansas

Arkansas law determines alimony and child support under Ark. Code § 9-12-312 and Administrative Order No. 10, with the $30,000 figure serving as a statutory threshold relevant to certain support calculations. The statute and administrative order together provide the framework for awarding alimony based on the circumstances of each case, and the official source at the Arkansas Legislature website lists the specific factors a court considers. For child support, the administrative order sets out a formula that the court applies to the parents’ incomes, and the result is presumptively correct unless exceptions apply. The worked example below demonstrates how the $30,000 figure interacts with the formula to produce a support amount.
