Yes. Child support and spousal maintenance you receive are exempt under A.R.S. § 33-1126(A) — creditors and the bankruptcy trustee cannot take them.
The same statute protects health, accident, and disability benefits, insurance proceeds covering damage to exempt property, and (if you don't claim a homestead) up to $2,000 in prepaid rent or security deposits.
Keep support payments traceable — depositing them into a dedicated account makes it easy to show the funds are exempt if a trustee asks.
This page is general legal information, not legal advice, and does not create an attorney-client relationship. Exemption figures were verified against official sources in August 2026; inflation-adjusted amounts (including Arizona's Prop 209 figures and county median homestead values) are computed estimates that change annually and should be confirmed by an attorney for your petition date.
