STRDLaw Child Support Calculator Arrives

Estimate The Amount Of Child Support That May Be Ordered In Your Case

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.
