Anyone with legal custody of a child can ask the CSEA to establish a support order. Ohio law provides that unwed mothers are the sole residential parent and legal custodian of a child unless a court awards custody to someone else. Child Support orders are required to contain the amount of child support to be paid when private health insurance is being provided, an amount of child support to be paid when private health insurance is not being provided, a medical support amount to be paid when private health insurance is not being provided and a provision for health insurance coverage and payment of uninsured medical expenses. The CSEA cannot address custody or visitation issues.
|
Establishing a child support order requires both parents to provide verification of income, day care expenses and health insurance expenses. Failure of a non-requesting party, or person otherwise required to cooperate with the CSEA, to return income verification does not prevent the CSEA from calculating a support order. |
There are 2 ways a support order can be established. Administratively: Judicially: |
