OKLAHOMA Part 56

The parents' combined gross monthly income is $5,000. Pat makes 40% of that total, and Jordan 60%. The child support guideline schedule sets the base monthly obligation for two children at this income level at $943. Jordan, the non-custodian parent, is responsible for 60% of the base child support, or $565.80. Because Jordan provides health and dental insurance, Jordan is entitled to a credit for Pat's 40% share of the cost, in this case, $40. Jordan pays Pat, the primary custodian, Jordan's share of the base child support ($565.80) minus the credit for Pat's share of health insurance costs ($40), for a total monthly obligation of $525.80.

In addition to the monthly obligation above, Jordan is responsible for 60% of Pat's employment related child care, or $300.

Jordan's total obligation to Pat for monthly child support and child care in this scenario is $825.80 per month.
