What is the name of your state? Ohio
I have heard conflicting answers on this subject (and I have done research and it seems to hold true for Ohio), but it seems that in Ohio, subsequent children CAN effect the amount of child support. If possible, I'd like Ohiogal's expertise.
My ex has a stepdaughter that he is in the processing of adopting, one child with his wife and another one on the way. He does not have any other child support orders for any children except for mine (we were married if that matters). He is convinced that he can get cs lowered based on the fact that he will be responsible for 3 additional children in his intact family and he can get the cs for my daughter lowered based on this. From what I understand in Ohio, this is a possibility?
I'm not money hungry, but he only pays a whopping $384 for my daughter and he thinks it is an outrageous amount of money. This does not include child care, which I have been thinking about revisiting the situation to include this, but do not want to cause problems in our very amicable situation. Basically, I'm not trying to open a can of worms if its going to end up screwing my daughter and causing animosity b/t the ex and I. We get along wonderfully and I'd like to keep it that way b/c it benefits my daughter greatly. The amount he pays now doesn't even cover her child care during the school year, let alone during the summer months.
Both of our incomes have increased significantly since the divorce and the online calculator calculates the child care into the amount figured. Problem is, the amount of child care differes depending on the time of year. Is there a way to calculate child support and then include 50/50 for child care in Ohio, or is it automatically included. If it is included, do I take the average for the year? I am in Franklin County if it makes a difference.
Thank you for your time in advance. I welcome all advice, even if its not what I want to hear. What is the name of your state?
