Navigating child support in Oklahoma: What to do.
When forced to pay child support in the state of Oklahoma, it is important to understand the Child Support Guidelines that determine the amount you are required to pay. These guidelines are based on factors such as income, number of children, deductions, and other expenses.
It is crucial to ensure that your income and the other party’s income are properly calculated and that you are receiving all the deductions you are entitled to. This includes deductions for health insurance, overnights with the child, and expenses for other children in your household.
Options for Affording Child Support
If you feel that your child support order is excessive based on your income, it may be necessary to consult with a Tulsa child modification attorney to review the calculations and guidelines. Additionally, some individuals choose to take on additional jobs or increase their income to afford child support payments.
However, it is important to be aware that an increase in income can lead to a modification of child support, potentially resulting in higher payments. Consulting with a Tulsa family law attorney can help you navigate these complexities and ensure that you are following the guidelines correctly.
