Well, if she's already 17, and only in her first trimester, then there won't be much time after birth that her parents will be responsible for support. So, for all intents and purposes, the vast majority of support will need to come only from her and the dad.Actually at the age of 17 for their child, in Ohio, parents are required by law to support the child. If they refuse to provide for the child they can be charged with neglect until said child turns 18.
We often hear: "If you don't want to pay support, don't do the deed". It seems that not even a decade of celebacy might protect a parent against suddenly needing to pay child support - and for someone elses child! One for whom they really have no legal rights.
Do they use the same CS formulas, only plug in each grandparents sets of income?
My hubby will be 69 when kiddo is 17. I wonder how much CS Ohio would expect from a retiree on SS and a fixed income with (likely) high prescription med costs, over and above what they are already spending to support their own child?
Yep they use the same CS formula and in put the grandparents income. They also give a credit of $3400 for each child you already have and are responsible for supporting. That happens when the CHILD paying support is a minor. If said child is 18 when support is instituted however then it is based on the "child's" income not the parents (grandparents).
The households that matter are the one where the mother lives and the one where the father lives. Those are the incomes that are normally taken into consideration. And yes you can make your teen work to pay for that expense as well. At the age of 18 it becomes the parent's responsibility.Wow.
Since there are (potentially) four grandparents, and potentially four GP households, there would be four NC(Non)parents. Although, in my home, Grandpa was already deceased by then. So, do they impute incomes for unemployed or underemployed Grandparents? Is a retiree GP, for example, underemployed? If they are underemployed, do they look to the Step Grandparents income (wow, potentially yet another worksheet) . Are there four CS garnishments?
Just curious: if one's teen wants to add the expense of a car, or a ski trip or whatever, their mom and dad can insist they work to pay for it. Presumably, the same is true here? If a teen insists on adding the expense of a baby to their household, the parents can insist they work to pay PT for that added expense as well? Might as well get used to the idea, after all.
So you're telling me that if my son knocks up some chick in Ohio and lives to tell about it (cause I would kill him), then I could be forced to pay child support?The households that matter are the one where the mother lives and the one where the father lives.

I'm thinking that chastity cup holders are in order!!So you're telling me that if my son knocks up some chick in Ohio and lives to tell about it (cause I would kill him), then I could be forced to pay child support?
I have a really politically incorrect statement to follow, but I think I'll send it to you via email.
