Under Oklahoma law, each parent has a responsibility for providing the financial support necessary to accommodate their child's needs. That responsibility does not end with a divorce. Oklahoma has established guidelines that use an income-sharing model that requires each parent to commit a proportionate share of their income to the overall cost of the child's care.

There are a number of factors that are considered when determining the required level of support and how much will be paid by each parent.  Child support factors include how much time each parent cares for the child, which parent is paying for medical insurance, and who is paying for daycare.  There are other factors that can come into play as well and the calculations can become quite complex.  Tiffany Graves Law is an experienced child support attorney who understands the guidelines to help ensure your share of the obligation is accurate.
