Ohio CS Admin Review, dual custody, 50/50 shared parenting

[Gentry James]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Ohio

In the past we agree to an amount and the court certified it. I qualify for a child support review and am thinking of going that route, but I find very little guidance on how this is calculated for 50/50 shared custody. What is the process? How much will I pay? Here are the facts:

2 kids, 50/50 visitation, both parents custodial, no daycare or other special needs, no major parental conflict, both parent slit the cost of all activities. Parent 1 (P1) earns $70K, Parent 2 (P2) earns $35K, so total parent income $105,000. P1 percent of total is 66.6% and P2 percent of total is 33.3%.

Revised Code basic child support table calls for total parental spending of $17,104 for income of $105,000. P1 portion of obligation is 66.6%(17,104) = $11,392 ($949 monthly); P2 portion of obligation is 33.3%(17,104)= $5,696 ($475 monthly.)

Again, how much money will P1 pay P2 if I file for review? Thanks.

Go to your AV rated attorney and ask him/her. I am sure they will be more than happy to do this for you. I won't waste my time running these numbers with the deviation as you were a jerk, IMHO, in your last thread. Oh and I am the only Ohio attorney on here and the only one with the Ohio child support program on here.

Ohiogal, let's bury the hatchet. I will be congenial, promise. Can you take a crack at this one? Seems like it should be simple. Please?

Oh! Maa! Gawd!

I don't think that anybody here is going to be prepared to answer that question for you. Not because anyone is being snarky, but because you are asking us to calculate something that is going to depend on how the judge calculates it.

How much are you paying now?

Thin skinned forum?

Not sure why a citizen's passion to protect their basic property rights would offend anyone. Don't take vigorous debate as a personal attack. The only comment that could be deemed offensive was to Ohiogal and I apologized. I mean it too. If that causes everyone to clam up then, okay. Hang loose all!

$700. Thanks for your response. So judges can calculate however they want? It seems to me that half the money required under the income shares model should be allocated to each home. If there are no other factors, why would it differ? Thanks!

The judge follows the CS guidelines which the program has a calculation for split time/equal time and what not. So it can be calculated. I have calculated it dozens of times for clients and been within a dollar or two of the actual order.

Thanks Ohiogal! With my numbers, what do you think? How would you calculate it? I appreciate it, I know it crossed the line in the last thread....

Do you have a link for the official program so that this guy can run his numbers? None of the calculators I have found online have a calculation for split/equal time.

Better that Arbitrary?

Do you have a link for the official program so that this guy can run his numbers? None of the calculators I have found online have a calculation for split/equal time.

In Ohio, as far as I can tell there is no shared parenting calculation worksheet. One worksheet covers sole custody and shared parenting. There is definitely no parenting time consideration or calculation, so, even 50% equal time is treated as a deviation to the presumed correct worksheet order. I guess then the judge can deviate, but does not have to even with 30, 40, 50% obligor parenting time. Maybe that's why Ohio has the highest per capita ordered child support in the country, while household incomes rank only 34th.

What I was asking was how the judge would likely treat the math if I was one of the lucky ones and charmed the judge into acknowledging the needs of my kids while at my home for half of their life. I guess no one knows, so it may be a totally arbitrary process. If so, that's kind of sad; seems we could do better and offer people some clarity. I thought maybe there was a logical calculation in practice for what seems like a desired circumstance - the total involvement of parents and children with each other. At least I'm very, very, lucky that my ex wife allowed me to parent my children for a meaningful amount of time. Maybe a biased or arbitrary system is just the cost of this privilege.

Thanks anyway.
