Dayton Child Support Lawyer
Assisting Clients with Child Support Matters in Montgomery County
Ohio law requires there to be an order of child support in every divorce or custody case. The parent that is not awarded custody is the one the court will order to pay (known as the “Obligor”). Child support serves to financially support the parent that has custody (known as the “Obligee”) due to the high costs associated with raising children. The money given to the Obligee is required to be spent on the children and not for their personal gain.

How to calculate child support in ohio
Calculating child support requires using the Ohio Child Support Computation Worksheet. This worksheet uses a number of different factors to determine the amount of child support, such as the income of each party, child care expenses, child support paid to other children, and medical expenses. Although the worksheet makes the calculation simple, determining a party’s income is very complicated and there are many different arguments to be made that may help determine each party’s income. Having the right attorney to represent you will make the difference in your case. Travis Kane has handled complex child support cases and has the experience you need.
What are the Child Support Guidelines in Ohio?
Navigating child support can be complex, but understanding Ohio's guidelines can empower you in the process. In Ohio, child support is calculated based on a variety of factors, including the income of both parents, the number of children involved, and any special needs the children may have. Familiarizing yourself with these guidelines can help you prepare for discussions and negotiations.
Key factors that influence child support calculations include:
- Parental Income: Both parents' incomes are considered, including wages, bonuses, and other sources of revenue.
- Health Insurance Costs: The cost of health insurance for the children can affect support amounts.
- Childcare Expenses: Necessary childcare costs incurred due to work or education can also be factored in.
- Extraordinary Expenses: Special needs, educational costs, or other extraordinary expenses may lead to adjustments in support obligations.
By understanding these guidelines, you can better advocate for your child's needs and ensure that you are receiving or paying a fair amount of support.
