OKLAHOMA CHILD SUPPORT
How is support calculated?
Oklahoma Child Support Guidelines
Oklahoma employs an Income Shares Model when determining child support. The court operates under the premise that a child should receive a proportion of parental income similar to what they would have received if both parents were living together.
The Formula:
1. Both parents’ gross incomes are combined.
2. The state table outlines the basic support obligation based on the total income and number of children involved.
3. This amount is then divided proportionally according to each parent’s share of the total income.
4. Adjustments are made for healthcare, childcare, and parenting time.
If you need assistance navigating these guidelines or wish to modify a child support order, consulting with a knowledgeable child support attorney can provide valuable guidance.
