Calculate Oklahoma Child Support

Oklahoma child support laws are based on the principle that both parents are obligated to support their children financially. The non-custodial parent typically pays child support to the custodial parent, but payments may also be made to a third party, such as a grandparent or other relative, who has custody of the child.

Child support payments are intended to help cover the costs of raising a child, including food, shelter, clothing, transportation, and educational expenses. Oklahoma law requires that child support orders take into account the needs of the child as well as the ability of each parent to pay.

Oklahoma’s child support guidelines are based on the incomes of both parents and the number of children involved. Child support payments are typically made on a monthly basis, but can be paid more or less often if agreed upon by both parents. Oklahoma child support orders can be modified if there is a significant change in circumstances, such as a change in income or the number of children involved.
