OKLAHOMA Part 53

How do child support guidelines work?

In Oklahoma, the first step in calculating child support is to determine each parent's adjusted gross income and add the numbers together to arrive at combined gross monthly family income. Gross income can be calculated in several ways, including:

    actual monthly income or income equivalent to a forty-hour work week (overtime may or may not be included as the court deems equitable)

    average monthly income while employed during the previous three (3) years

    minimum wage paid for a forty-hour work week, or

    imputed monthly income for a person with comparable education, training and experience.
