Ohio Custody Calculator
Understanding Ohio's shared parenting threshold and how it affects child support calculations.
What This Means
Ohio uses a percentage-based approach for shared parenting:
- Below 30% time: Standard child support worksheet applies.
- 30%+ time: Shared parenting adjustment applies, which typically reduces the support obligation.
30% of the year equals approximately 110 overnights.
