Hello, this Stephen ES Daray.
I am happy to announce that we have added to the Schoonover, Rosenthal Thurman & Daray website the SRTDLaw Ohio Child Support Calculator. We did this because there simply is not any other local websites that have any type of child support calculator. Our website is different from the rest in that we wrote all the information contained in this website. We did this and provided as much information as we have because we want you to be educated. An educated client leads to effective representation and successful results. As with all the individual topic pages, this is yet another tool provided by Schoonover, Rosenthal Thurman & Daray to help guide you through a divorce.
The concept
of child support is a wide issue with multiple components. The court needs to first determine
custody (look at those pages).
Then it needs to allocate child support. The parties’ incomes must to be determined before anything
else. If a party refuses to work
or has not worked, then an amount of income may be imputed to them. Thereafter the court needs to determine
if there is any reason to deviate from the guidelines recommended amount. The heart of any child support fight is
amount of income and whether a deviation applies. Courts are generally inclined to put in place support orders
even under shared parenting plan where parties have relatively equally time
with the kids and relatively equal income.
Use
the free SRTDlaw Ohio Child Support Calculator to start the process of budgeting for
the future. It will give a basic
snapshot of how child support may be calculated under Ohio law taking into
account your finances.
Our
calculator cannot be used for any court pleadings because it does not provide for
any calculation of “Cash Medical Support”
In Ohio, we have a child support provision in our law called “Cash
Medical Support” that requires parties to a child support order to provide two
calculations to the court. The
first is a support order if the parties have private health insurance for the
children and the other is a calculation if the parties did not have private
health insurance. Thereafter, if
the parties do not have private health insurance a separate amount is
calculated to be paid toward medical expenses or as reimbursement to the state
for providing health insurance for the children. That must be included in any court paperwork and you can’t
get that information here.
When,
you get to the page, simply click on the SRTDlaw Ohio Child Support Calculator
icon. Take your time and try and
give as accurate information as you can to achieve the best snapshot. Sometimes
you don’t have all the information in front of you. In that case, feel free to run as many calculations as you
like if you need to guess as to some of the information. When you have completed the form, click
on the calculate button to get an estimate of the amount of child support that
the non-custodial parent will have to pay to the custodial parent in Ohio. It is a step toward being the most
educated you can be.
Please remember that these
calculators are for informational and educational purposes only. The
amount of child support a court will order for any particular case may be different
from the amount estimated by the calculator. Please note than an individual's
actual obligation can only be established by court or administrative order in
accordance with the laws of Ohio.
