How to figure out child support?

I was wondering if anyone knew how to figure out child support. Our divorce is very newly filed, so all my lawyer gave me was an estimate. My husband makes good money and Im a stay at home mom, I think this year he will make about $100,000 and we live in Ohio. Any ideas? Thanks!

Go to the state of Ohio government web site. Somewhere in there is a chart that tells you what the rate is. This of course is not cut in stone but will give you a better idea of at least what the state thinks is fair.

Until you submit financial affidavits to the court, you won't have a specific dollar amount. However, those calculators listed in the previous post should be helpful, along with your lawyer's estimate.
