Understanding Ohio’s Child Support Calculator
Ohio has specific laws regarding child support, which help ensure that children receive the financial support they need. One important tool in this process is the child support calculator. This calculator considers various factors to estimate the amount of support a parent should provide. While the calculator offers a guideline, we, as your child support lawyers, can help you understand how the numbers translate into your unique situation. We want to make sure that the court’s child support order accurately reflects your child’s needs.
What Factors Does The Court Consider When Deciding Child Support?
When determining child support, the court evaluates several factors to ensure a fair arrangement. These include:
- The income of both parents
- The child’s needs
- Any special circumstances that may apply
The court also considers the standard of living the child would have enjoyed if the marriage had not ended. Other considerations might include healthcare and educational needs. We work closely with you to present a comprehensive picture to the court to ensure the court understands and considers all relevant information.
Is It Possible To Change A Child Support Order In Ohio?
Life circumstances change, especially after a divorce, and the court recognizes this. Therefore, it is possible to request a change to a child support order. However, the changes in your financial profile must be significant. For example, the loss of a job or a substantial increase in a spouse’s income could be reasons to request a modification of your child support order. Other reasons can include changes in a child’s needs or a change in the custody arrangements and visitation schedule. Our child support lawyers can help you evaluate your changes in circumstances to see if they will be substantial enough to support a petition for a modification. Our family law attorneys can also represent you in a modification for a change in child custody or financial support.
