How Ohio calculates child support
Ohio calculates child support under the Income Shares Model, established by House Bill 366 and codified in ORC Chapter 3119. Both parents gross incomes are combined and looked up on the Basic Child Support Schedule, with each parent paying a share proportional to their income. The schedule covers combined annual incomes from $8,400 to $336,000.
State-specific details including deviation factors, modification procedures, and enforcement rules are available through the official Ohio child support agency. Filing fees for divorce or custody proceedings in Ohio typically run $200 to $400. Family attorneys in Ohio generally charge $200 to $400 per hour.
