post-2019 Child Support Statutory Changes
Magistrate Jeremy Richards (Hamilton County, Ohio) and
Magistrate Darci Jay (Summit County, Ohio)
Since 2019’s statutory changes implementing deviations based on parenting
time, how have courts implemented these deviations? What factors have
courts considered and how have courts quantified the deviation when appropriate?
How might these be different in high-income child support cases? Our Magistrates
provide a boots-on-the-ground perspective to give practitioners valuable
insight on these questions.
