Child Support

Child support is a highly contested aspect of many family law cases in Ohio. The appropriate amount of child support is determined through a pre-determined calculation, which yields a guideline amount. However, it is common for parties to disagree with the guideline amount, which can lead to prolonged disputes and prevent the case from being resolved fully.

One way to avoid such disputes is through mediation. In mediation, parties are given the opportunity to openly discuss their financial concerns and negotiate unique solutions that benefit both of them. This can lead to more creative and effective resolutions than what may be achieved through litigation.

Mediation can also be beneficial for parents who want to maintain an amicable relationship after the case is settled. By working together in this way, parents can demonstrate their commitment to putting their children's needs first and fostering a cooperative parenting relationship.

Overall, mediation provides a valuable alternative to litigation for resolving child support disputes in Ohio. It allows parties to tailor solutions to their unique circumstances and can help them maintain a positive co-parenting relationship moving forward.
