Ohio Child Custody and Support Legal Breakdown
CHILD SUPPORT. Negotiating child support terms is usually a difficult subject for divorcing spouses. Child support varies greatly for every family and situation. It’s determined through a formula that takes many factors into account. These factors include the number of children, parents’ income, cost of day care or schooling, cost of health care, and the basic needs of the children. These calculations are based on guidelines created by the Ohio courts.
CHILD CUSTODY. You and your ex-spouse must also determine what type of custody you both will have over your child(ren). In Ohio, there are two types of child custody. With sole custody, one parent is the legal guardian and the child(ren) lives with that parent. The other parent still has rights, financial responsibilities, and visitation. With shared custody (called shared parenting), both parents have physical and legal custody of the child according to a court-approved schedule.
Some couples are able to settle legal issues surrounding their children before divorcing, and some are not. At the family law office of Eric L. Anderson, we are ready to help. Whether you would like to attempt an amicable resolution through mediation, or you need firepower in the courtroom of an experienced attorney, our child custody and support attorney protects the best interests of the children, and ensures that their needs are met.
