Supporting your family
Child support
In Ohio, child support is allocated according to a formula established by the legislature. However, even with having familiarity with the standard formula, establishing or modifying child support can still be complicated. At Morrison & Nicholson, we help clients establish, modify & enforce their child support award by analyzing their situation in light of Ohio's child support formula and guidelines. For more information on these guidelines, or about child support, contact the family law attorneys at Morrison & Nicholson for a free consultation.
