Child support in Ohio is determined according to the Child Support Guidelines established by the state legislature. Several factors are taken into consideration, including:
- Earnings of both parents (including that from employment and interest/dividends)
- Income taxes
- Previous support orders (for children from another relationship)
- Alimony paid or received
- Health insurance for the children
- Child care expenses
- Amount of time spent with the children by each parent
We help parents prepare their child support computation worksheets and submit them to court for approval. It is important for both parents to remember that the overriding concern in the eyes of the court is always "the best interests of the children."
Enforcement and Modifications
If the parent responsible for paying child support falls behind, even for just one month, he or she may be in default. At The Law Office of Jason P. Reese, we can help you to take aggressive action to seek enforcement of child support orders and obtain back payment for delinquent child support using Wage Withholding Orders to employers, the military or the Social Security Administration (for those receiving government disability and retirement benefits).
Do you need a modification of an existing child support order because of a significant change in your financial circumstances or those of your former spouse? Whatever your situation, attorney Jason Reese is ready to explain your legal options and will work aggressively to help you. Please contact our law office by phone at 330-456-2289 or e-mail today.
