As an experienced child support attorney (lawyer) serving the Toledo area, Dennis P. Strong has successfully represented many individuals engaged in child support and other Family Law legal issues.

Ohio Child support laws were written in an effort to keep the child's best interest in mind. The formula for determining child support payment levels takes into consideration:

• Custody arrangements

• How much parenting time each parent has, the income of the parents

• The total number of children

• Unusual medical expenses, day care expenses, and insurance, among other factors.

If a custodial or non-custodial parent feels the "guideline for child support" is unjust with regard to their particular circumstances, they may petition the court for an increase or decrease of the amount of child support to be paid. This is called a child support modification. Your best chance to obtain positive results in a child support modification proceeding is to hire a Toledo child support attorney (lawyer) who is both knowledgeable and experienced in handling child support and family law legal issues, which can be very complicated in nature.

Child Support is payment from one spouse to another for support of the children after a divorce or separation. Normally, child support stops when a child turns 18 years of age, unless the child is still a full-time student. If the child is a full-time student, the child support can continue until the child turns 21 years old. Child support cannot be discharged in bankruptcy and is not considered as income by the receiving parent or as a tax deduction by the paying parent.

In general, child support obligations will terminate once the child reach the age of 18, unless the child is in college (in which case the parent is still obligated), or if the child has been declared emancipated by a court. Child support obligations will also terminate if a parent’s rights and responsibilities are terminated, because, for instance, the child is adopted by someone else.

Generally, child support is paid by the non-custodial parent, as the custodial parent’s obligations and responsibilities are fulfilled by having custody. This doesn’t necessarily mean that a mother would not have to pay child support to a father who has custody – the mother has the same duty as the father would if he didn’t have sole custody. Moreover, an unmarried father – who is acknowledged as the biological father – will also be responsible for paying child support.
