Determination Of Child Support Responsibilities
In Oklahoma, as in many states, the basis for a child support arrangement starts with the state’s standards that take into account each parent’s income and the amount of time the child spends with each parent. As you become educated on the process of determining child support, you should understand that the resulting child support order has the potential to be a powerful document in your lives for years. Getting it right is important.
Getting it right will likely include calculating your and your spouse’s incomes correctly. This may not be simple if one or both of you has fluctuating incomes. If either of you is self-employed, legal guidance is critical. At Swain Law Group, our experienced family law attorneys will inform you, guide you and represent you in negotiations, mediation or trial. If you need help enforcing or modifying an existing child support order, we are here for you.

When a family law court reviews parents’ proposed child support agreement, the judge will take into account factors such as:
- Each parent’s income
- Each parent’s earning potential
