Pay the monthly rate. I know a guy who got jammed up because OCSS didn't realize that realize that bi-weekly payments result 2/26th of the yearly amount for 10 months, and 3/26th for two months, even though he used the schedule they sent him.
The new attorney found some things the old attorney awarded that should not have beenSo did your attorney get the visitation, and thus the child support, more favorable? Or did he somehow compel the judge to deviate from the OK DHS prescribed formula?
The amount of custody you have has a correlation with how much you pay in child support.Not entirely. The support is theoretically to be calculated on a pro rata basis so that the child maintains the same standard of living at both households. IF the child is in one household for a large potion of the time, then the other party is to contribute a comparatively large amount since, again theoretically, the person who does not have the most visitation is not spending money on the child when they not at that home.
As your visitation increases, you spend more on the child while they are in your household, so you would be required to pay less to the other party in supprort. That's what the calculator ( http://www.okdhs.org/onlineservices/cscalc ) attempts to accomplish.
Now CUSTODY and and support are unrelated. But the support and visitation - the time they are in one's care - are connected matters.
Really you need to go through the courts and get orders from a judge for custody/visitation and CS.
Problem with just figuring it up on your own and paying her what yall figure to be fair. If 10 years down the road she decides she wants to take it to court all the money you paid her isn't considered CS and she can get you for back payments. As far as DHS is concered you were just giving her a gift.
Figuring it is easy, the courts typically strictly use a calculator you can find on their wedsite. Just type in all yalls info and it'll tell you what CS will be.
Child support is not retroactive in the state of Oklahoma; it can go back to the date the court case is filed, but no further.
