Understanding Child Support Calculations in Ohio
Several factors are taken into account when a court determines the amount of child support paid. Our Columbus child support attorney can help ensure that your children are provided for and that you are not taken advantage of throughout the process.
A few factors which are considered in the determination of child support payments include:
- Child care, healthcare, and schooling needs
- Each parent's ability to provide for the child financially
- Each parent's current employment and earning capability
- Each parent's income
- Any special needs or circumstances of the child
Seeking Adjustments to Child Support Orders
Although a judge would assume that the amount of child support determined by the standards is sufficient, you can also petition the court to adjust the amount centered on your child's best interests.
The judge may consider the following as legitimate reasons to modify child support:
- The child is special needs
- Loss of wage or employment
- Either parent remarries
You may also petition a judge to amend a child support order once it is in effect. You may request an administrative review from the local Child Support Enforcement Agency. A caseworker may review both parents' existing income and recalculate funding based on the criteria.
Duration of Child Support Obligations in Ohio
Both parents in Ohio have a legal obligation to help their children until they turn 18. It is possible to be extended longer if the child is still in high school, has a physical or mental disability.

“Thank you, Nina!”
Goodness where do I begin! I previously made a review before about not being able to get into contact with Nina. I had not known that she had fallen ill before I placed the review. But now that she has been back, we have been in contact and she has been a TREMENDOUS help in my divorce. She has been honest and forthcoming. She has been my advocate. She has stood her ground when she needed to. She has been flexible with me. I could not have asked for someone better to help me as we go through this process! Thank you, Nina!- Casey L. -
“Again, what a wonderful person and an amazing attorney!”
I cannot say enough good things about Nina! What an amazing attorney and even better person. She represented me in a custody issue and she was always upfront with what to expect and what the outcome would mostly be and she was 100% correct. I got the feeling very early on that she truly cares about her clients and any kids involved and only wanted what was best for us. Again, what a wonderful person and an amazing attorney! Thank you so much again Nina (and Beth too!)- Brian F. -
“She is very responsive”
Nina has been amazing in handling a high conflict parenting situation. She is very responsive, and is amazing at handling a (sometimes) unresponsive opposing counsel.- Shyam K. -
“Nina is hands down the best Attorney!”
I would recommend Nina to anyone going through a divorce. Although I did not follow through with my divorce I felt 100% comfortable that Nina would ensure my best interest was most important to her. Nina was easy to talk to and well educated on what she does. She definitely knows the ends and outs on what you need to do and what will take place before it does. Even here assistant Beth was very friendly to work with. I would say Nina is prompt, detail oriented, patient, informative, and kind. I know that I can and will call on her if I need her in the future.- Kyra -
