Trying to figure out if you should seek child support, raise your child support, or if the whole legal process just wouldn’t be worth pursuing it in your situation? Then check out this little website if you live in the state of Ohio and are trying to navigate your child support situation. It has an online child support calculator that is extremely easy to use. With only ten lines that need to be filled in with financial information, you can have an estimate of what your child support payments would be within minutes.

The calculator has links embedded within it, to define what the state of Ohio deems as a custodial parent, alimony, as well as a non-custodial parent, so even those who are new to the who legal process will be able to navigate the site and the calculator with ease. It is important to remember, however that these calculators can only give a rough estimate of what the child support obligation would be, and is not a substitute for legal advice. These are free tools put on the Internet in order to give parents a baseline, or a starting point in their legal quest of obtaining child support.

If you are an Ohio resident, and are throwing around the idea of beginning a child support case, or perhaps, reopening your current one, than I would certainly stop by this website and plug in your numbers. You may be surprised to see that you are entitled to more than you thought, or more than you are currently receiving, and that going back to court would be in both you and your child’s best interest. At the bottom of the website, there is also an attorney locator. After picking the state that you live in, you will be redirected to a new page, with a selection of cities, simply pick the city that you live in, or the one closest to you if your city does not happen to be listed.

After picking your city, you will then be given a list of different areas of law that attorneys focus on, child custody or divorce would be the two sections that you would want to focus on for child support matters. Once you select one of those sections you will then be given a list of lawyers, or law firms in your area that practice that particular type of law. Clicking on an actual lawyer, or firm listing will bring you to an informative page about their practice, as well as their contact information. Both the ‘Find A Lawyer” feature, as well as the child support calculator will be a great asset to families in Ohio who are looking into changing their current child support arrangement.
