Do parents with shared custody pay the same child support as non-custodial parents in Ohio?

You should have adjusted CS when he was granted shared custody. "Shared custody" is a legal term of art. What it's gonna depend on is the amount of time the child spends with you now. If the child is still only spending every other weekend at your place, then probably no need to change the amount, but if the child is at you place more often, then it might go down to compensate for the added expenses of having the child with you more.

Of course, the caveat is that if your husband's income has gone up, he might owe more CS, especially if you do not have the child more often now even though he has "shared" custody.

This is an easy question for your attorney to answer. Make the call and see if it's worth going back to court for.

Remember, until there is a court order entered that changes the amount of CS, he needs to keep paying otherwise he will get behind in what he owes.

No, but it may change some in the amount... My sister has shared custody and her ex still has to pay child support the only way it will stop if is it is court ordered to be stopped... You could take it back to court and have it motioned to be stopped since your husband is now taking care of the child physically.

The child support amount may change. He can file with the court for a reassessmant, and the child support may go down.

Unfortunately, in Ohio, nothing is completely written in stone, so i can't say with certainty what will happen, but be prepared.

Good luck

The only way his support payments would increase would be if he had a pay increase. Do you have any emails or text messages where he says he has no interest in his child? Does he take the child on his visitation weekends? Does he call and talk with the child? Send them birthday gifts or spend holidays with the child? If not, all that impacts the way the judge willl favor.

Child support does not change unless the court changes it. I have joint custody with my wife and still have to pay her $750 monthly for child support, even though I have them 50% of the time. I pay child care when I have to work and I have custody, I pay doctors bills, $730 monthly for health insurance, clothes, school, and she still gets $750 for child support? That's Maryland. Even though she had the affair that caused the divorce to start, I have to pay through the nose. You tell me what's fair about that?

I don't know for sure about Ohio, but what we did was flip,flop the support. When I had the kids he paid support, When he had the kids I paid support. I'm sure that you wouldn't be expected to pay the mother "Child Support" if they are not residing with her at the time.

nope u are not entitled any more child support unless he has back support to pay. My ex and I have shared parenting and its a freakin joke...my son lives with me the majority of the time and my ex gets away with everything...its bull but that's Ohio laws for u...good luck

No, probualy not. Usually if they are joint custody there is not child support because the child should be with both of them a equal amount of time.

I thought I answer this one yesterday.
