Child Support Guidelines In Ohio

When the children primarily live with one parent (the “custodial” parent), the other parent will be required to contribute financially toward their care. This child support money may be awarded either by the Domestic Relations Court, the Child Support Enforcement Agency or the Juvenile Court.

The exact amount of child support that the noncustodial parent must pay depends on various factors in Ohio’s structured Child Support Guidelines. These include:

Child support obligations usually terminate when the child turns 18 unless he or she is still in school or has certain disabilities.

Factors That Affect Spousal Support/Alimony Orders

Spousal support is intended to help the dependent spouse maintain a reasonable standard of living after divorce. It may be awarded to either the man or the woman, depending on the situation, but it is usually only awarded for a certain length of time or in a certain lump sum.

Unlike child support, there are no set guidelines for alimony. The courts will consider:

  • The relative incomes, expenses and earning abilities of the parties
  • The length of the marriage and standard of living
  • The ages and physical conditions of both parties
  • Other relevant factors
