Ensuring Fair & Accurate Child Support Orders
Child support is essential to ensuring that both parents contribute financially to their child’s upbringing. At Fogelman Law Firm, we help parents in Clermont, Hamilton, Butler, Warren, and Brown Counties establish, modify, and enforce child support orders to ensure fair and legally compliant arrangements.
How Child Support Works in Ohio
While the guidelines provide a baseline, deviations may be requested under the statute.
Ohio calculates child support based on statewide guidelines, which consider factors such as:
Each parent’s income and earning ability
The number of children involved
Health insurance and daycare expenses
Parenting time (custody arrangement)
Any special needs or medical costs for the child

Common Concerns About Child Support
“Can I reduce my child support if I lose my job?”
➡ Possibly. If you experience a substantial loss of income, you may qualify for a modification.
“What if the other parent refuses to pay?”
➡ We can file a contempt motion to enforce the order, including wage garnishments.
“How long does a child support case take?”
➡ Timelines vary, but hearings are typically scheduled within a few months of filing.
