If you are not married, but have children, the juvenile court has exclusive jurisdiction to allocate parental rights and responsibilities.   

There are child support guidelines in the state of Ohio, but the issues are whether or not a spouse is employable, underemployed or whether a spouse has truly revealed all sources of income. In any event, we will provide experienced legal advice in your best interest.
