The Office of Child Support (OCS) has amended the following rule. The rule has been reviewed in order to comply with Amended Substitute Senate Bill Number 337 (129th G.A.).
| Amended Rule | Amended Rule Title | Prior Effective Date of Rule | Effective Date of Amendment |
|---|
| 5101:12‑45‑10 | Calculation of the Support Obligations. | 3/1/2009 | 7/1/2013 |
This rule describes the process by which the child support enforcement agency (CSEA) shall use the basic Ohio child support guidelines (hereafter "guidelines") schedule as set forth in sections 3119.01 to 3119.05 of the Revised Code when calculating or adjusting the child support and cash medical support obligations contained within a child support order.
Changes to the rule include: updating the criteria to be considered when a CSEA imputes income for support orders; the ability of a CSEA to disregard a parent's additional income when that income is generated to support additional family members; and consideration for existing support orders when an additional child is born to the same parents.
This rule is authorized by ORC section 3125.25 and amplifies ORC sections 3119.02 and 3125.03.
