 When
a child or children are involved in divorce proceedings, a legal
separation, or after paternity has been established, each child
has the legal right to be provided for not only by the custodial
parent, but the non-custodial parent as well.
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 parents 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 parents
obligations and responsibilities are fulfilled by having
custody. This doesnt 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 didnt have sole custody.
Moreover, an unmarried father who is acknowledged as the
biological father will also be responsible for paying
child support.
