Ask a Lawyer: Chlld Support Computation worksheetPosted by: Dads Divorce on Dec 7, 2009   |

Question:
My soon to be ex-wife has filed for dissolution of marriage in Ohio. I received a document of the separation agreement which is saying that I need to pay $ 959.15 a month for child support. The annual interpolated value of support is $ 13,127.99. Why am I being ordered to pay almost 80-90% of this value a month and she is paying almost nothing? Is there anything I can do about this? Also, she sent me a message that she wants me to send her money weekly for daycare for my son before the child support kicks in. Should I pay or wait until the child support order begins?
Answer:
I am not licensed in Ohio. You should also contact an Ohio licensed attorney. Did you attend a hearing or in anyway participate in the calculation of support? The only way to know if the amount is correct is calculate the support. You may be paying 80% if Ohio uses an income share model and your income equals 80% of the total income for both you and your wife. Do not send money for daycare unless it is part of the court order. It is likely that daycare was factored into the child support calculation.
