A: Ohio has a Child Support Worksheet that calculates a child support amount based on incomes of both parents and other factors. That calculated amount can then be adjusted for other circumstances. Shared parenting can be split however works best for the children and the parents. If the parents cannot agree, then the court will set the schedule based on what is in the best interest of the children. Many counties have standard parenting schedules to use as a starting point. Check your court's web site. Use the Find a Lawyer tab to consult a local family law attorney.
