Oklahoma has Child Support Guidelines which establish a formula for how much child support
should be paid. The main components to this formula are: 1) Parents' income; 2) Health
Insurance cost; 3) Daycare cost; and 4) the amount of time each parent spends with the
child(ren). If a parent is unemployed, their income is generally set at minimum wage. In some
cases and for good cause shown, the parties may agree upon a different amount of child
support.Oklahoma DHS has an Online Child Support Calculator.
If you are separated from the child's mother and the child does not live primarily with you, you
need to immediately begin paying child support if not already doing so. (continued below)

Keep a receipt of all payments. If there is an existing child support order
either through DHS or the District Court, then it can be modified based upon a
substantial change in income. If you experience a job loss or salary cut, then
the quicker you file a Motion to Modify Child Support the better! If you fail to pay
the court ordered amount of child support, then DHS or your ex can file a
Contempt Citation against you. On the other hand, if you have a substantial
increase in pay, DHS or your ex can ask to increase the amount of child
support. Oklahoma State law provides that both parties exchange their income
information once each year upon request. 43 O.S. 118.3.
Keep in mind that your visitation cannot be denied if child support is not
being paid. On the other hand, child support payments cannot be withheld
because you are being denied visitation.

defending a Contempt Citation.
