Guidelines Calculator Acknowledgement


By using this application, I acknowledge the following statement:


The purpose of this child support worksheet calculator is to provide users with an estimate of the support obligations that may be included in a court or administrative child support order. The child support worksheet is not a child support order. It establishes income and other factors for both parents that a court or Child Support Enforcement Agency (CSEA) can use to calculate a support obligation. A court or CSEA will only create a support order when the parties agree to the contents of the worksheet, or as the result of a hearing about the contents.

Your local Child Support Enforcement Agency (CSEA) provides child support services that include helping you obtain or modify your child support order based on statewide, uniform guidelines.


******CAUTION******


Knowledge of the financial circumstances of both parents as well as an understanding of Ohio family law and Ohio and federal tax law is necessary to complete the worksheet accurately. If you have questions about these, you should consider contacting an attorney.


❎  I have read and understand the statement above



The following worksheet was created using the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services Child Support Calculator. This worksheet contains information provided by the user.


The calculations in this worksheet are affected by assertions/assumptions made by the user, including but not limited to:


  • Identity of the custodial and non-custodial parents
  • Income and income adjustments of the parents
  • Health care and child care expenses
