Child support is the ongoing, periodic support made by one parent to another to help cover a child's living and medical expenses. Child support obligations are calculated based on both parents' incomes, the number of children each parent has, and certain expenses such as healthcare premiums and childcare costs.Â
Ohio courts consider several factors when calculating child support obligations. These include the gross income of both parents from all sources, spousal support paid or received, other child support obligations for other children, mandatory work-related deductions, health insurance premiums, childcare expenses necessary for employment, and children's extraordinary medical or other expenses.Â
Child support must typically be paid until the child reaches the age of 18 and graduates from high school. Payments are usually made through Ohio Child Support Payment Central (CSPC). Orders may be modified if there is a substantial change in circumstances of either of the parties’ incomes. Non-payment can result in serious consequences, including contempt of court charges, license suspensions (driver's, professional, recreational), tax refund interception, property liens, credit bureau reporting, and jail time for continued non-compliance.
