Child support is determined by statutory guidelines.

How much child support will the law mandate? Can you get extra child support for your children? The State of Ohio has statutory guidelines to determine child support based on the gross incomes of the parents. The calculation isn't based purely on one's total or "gross income," but instead allows for certain deductions before calculating the amount. Factors that are considered include custody arrangements, health insurance and special needs of the children.

Child support modification

The guideline amount is not the final word-it may be modified up or down, depending upon circumstances. Persuading the judge to deviate significantly from the guideline amount of child support requires dependable advice and decisive action. Our attorneys can provide this type of legal help and get you an outcome that is in the best interest of your child.
