Child Support

In Ohio both parents have a legal duty to financially support their children. Generally, child support is based on statewide guidelines and intended to provide for a child’s day-to-day needs. Determining the amount of support can be tricky when one parent is self-employed or works a seasonal job, or a child has additional expenses not otherwise included in the guideline support calculation. Ohio child support law was recently revised and new guidelines for determining the amount of child support became effective on March 28, 2019. An experienced lawyer can help clear up confusion in applying the guidelines to child support calculations.
