How a court decides whether your Ohio child support should be higher or lower than the child support guidelines amount.

November 19, 2009

An Ohio Child Support Attorney article about deviations from the Ohio child support guidelines amount.

Notice I said COURT, not Child Support Enforcement Agency, or CSEA.  That is because the CSEA does not have the LEGAL AUTHORITY to issue a child support order for more or less than the statutory child support guidelines amount, unless the parties agree.  In contrast, when the Court makes a child support award, the Court may order a child support amount which is higher or lower than the guidelines amount.  Ohio Revised Code 3119.23 sets forth the situations in which a court may consider raising or lowering child support from the guidelines amount.  Click here for the most current version of 3119.23.
