Sec. 1349.01. (A) As used in this section:

(2) "Court" means the division of the court of common pleas having jurisdiction over actions for divorce, annulment, dissolution of marriage, legal separation, child support, or spousal support.

(3) "Health insurance coverage" means hospital, surgical, or medical expense coverage provided under any health insurance or health care policy, contract, or plan or any other health benefits arrangement.

(B) If, pursuant to an action for divorce, annulment, dissolution of marriage, or legal separation, the court determines that a party who is a resident of this state is responsible for obtaining health insurance coverage for the party's former spouse or children or if, pursuant to a child support order issued in accordance with section 3113.217 SECTIONS 3119.30 TO 3119.58 of the Revised Code, the court requires a party who is a resident of this state to obtain health insurance coverage for the children who are the subject of the child support order, and the party fails to obtain such coverage, no provider or collection agency shall collect or attempt to collect from the former spouse, children, or person responsible for the children, any reimbursement of any hospital, surgical, or medical expenses incurred by the provider for services rendered to the former spouse or children, which expenses would have been covered but for the failure of the party to obtain the coverage, if the former spouse, any of the children, or a person responsible for the children, provides the following to the provider or collection agency:

If the requirements of divisions (B)(1) and (2) are met, the provider or collection agency may collect or attempt to collect the expenses only from the party.

A party required to obtain health insurance coverage for a former spouse or children who fails to obtain the coverage is liable to the provider for the hospital, surgical, or medical expenses incurred by the provider as a result of the failure to obtain the coverage. This section does not prohibit a former spouse or person responsible for the children from initiating an action to enforce the order requiring the party to obtain health insurance for the former spouse or children or to collect any amounts the former spouse or person responsible for the children pays for hospital, surgical, or medical expenses for which the party is responsible under the order requiring the party to obtain health insurance for the former spouse or children.

(D)(1) If the requirements of divisions (B)(1) and (2) of this section are met, both of the following restrictions shall apply:

(a) No collection agency or provider of hospital, surgical, or medical services may report to a consumer reporting agency, for inclusion in the credit file or credit report of the former spouse or person responsible for the children, any information relative to the nonpayment of expenses for the services incurred by the provider, if the nonpayment is the result of the failure of the party responsible for obtaining health insurance coverage to obtain health insurance coverage.

(b) No consumer reporting agency shall include in the credit file or credit report of the former spouse or person responsible for the children, any information relative to the nonpayment of any hospital, surgical, or medical expenses incurred by a provider as a result of the party's failure to obtain the coverage.

(2) If the requirements of divisions (B)(1) and (2) of this section are not met, both of the following provisions shall apply:

(a) A provider of hospital, surgical, or medical services, or a collection agency, may report to a consumer reporting agency, for inclusion in the credit file or credit report of the former spouse or person responsible for the children, any information relative to the nonpayment of expenses for the services incurred by the provider, if the nonpayment is the result of the failure of the party responsible for obtaining health insurance coverage to obtain such coverage.

(b) A consumer reporting agency may include in the credit file or credit report of the former spouse or person responsible for the children, any information relative to the nonpayment of any hospital, surgical, or medical expenses incurred by the provider, if the nonpayment is the result of the failure of the party responsible for obtaining health insurance coverage to obtain such coverage.

(3)(a) A provider of hospital, surgical, or medical services, or a collection agency, may report to a consumer reporting agency, for inclusion in the credit file or credit report of that party, any information relative to the nonpayment of expenses for the services incurred by the provider, if the nonpayment is the result of the failure of the party responsible for obtaining health insurance coverage to obtain such coverage.

(b) A consumer reporting agency may include in the credit file or credit report of the party responsible for obtaining health insurance coverage, any information relative to the nonpayment of any hospital, surgical, or medical expenses incurred by a provider, if the nonpayment is the result of the failure of that party to obtain health insurance coverage.

(4) If any information described in division (D)(2) of this section is placed in the credit file or credit report of the former spouse or person responsible for the children, the consumer reporting agency shall remove the information from the credit file and credit report if the former spouse or person responsible for the children provides the agency with the information required in divisions (B)(1) and (2) of this section. If the agency fails to remove the information from the credit file or credit report pursuant to the terms of the "Fair Credit Reporting Act," 84 Stat. 1128, 15 U.S.C. 1681a, within a reasonable time after receiving the information required by divisions (B)(1) and (2) of this section, the former spouse may initiate an action to require the agency to remove the information.

If any information described in division (D)(3) of this section is placed in the party's credit file or credit report, the party has the burden of proving that the party is not responsible for obtaining the health insurance coverage or, if responsible, that the expenses incurred are not covered expenses. If the party meets that burden, the agency shall remove the information from the party's credit file and credit report immediately. If the agency fails to remove the information from the credit file or credit report immediately after the party meets the burden, the party may initiate an action to require the agency to remove the information.

An order issued in an action under this section does not preclude a party to the action from bringing a subsequent action pursuant to sections 3111.01 to 3111.19 3111.18 of the Revised Code if the issue concerning the existence or nonexistence of the parent-child relationship was not determined with respect to the party pursuant to a proceeding under this section, a proceeding under Chapter 3111. of the Revised Code, or an acknowledgment of paternity that has become final under FORMER SECTION 3111.211 OR 5101.314 OR section 2151.232, 3111.211 3111.25, or 5101.314 3111.821 of the Revised Code.

The court, in accordance with section 3113.217 SECTIONS 3119.30 TO 3119.58 of the Revised Code, shall include in each support order made under this section the requirement that one or both of the parents provide for the health care needs of the child to the satisfaction of the court.

Sec. 2151.232. If an acknowledgment has been filed and entered into the birth registry pursuant to section 5101.314 3111.24 of the Revised Code but has not yet become final, either parent who signed the acknowledgment may bring an action in the juvenile court under this section requesting that the court issue an order requiring a parent of the child to pay an amount for the support of the child in accordance with sections 3113.21 to 3113.219 CHAPTERS 3119., 3121., 3123., AND 3125. of the Revised Code.

The parties to an action under this section may raise the issue of the existence or nonexistence of a parent-child relationship. If an action is commenced pursuant to this section and the issue of the existence or nonexistence of a parent-child relationship is raised, the court shall treat the action as an action commenced pursuant to sections 3111.01 to 3111.19 3111.18 of the Revised Code. If the issue is raised, the court shall promptly notify the division OFFICE of child support in the department of human services that it is conducting proceedings in compliance with sections 3111.01 to 3111.19 3111.18 of the Revised Code. On receipt of the notice by the division OFFICE, the acknowledgment of paternity signed by the parties and filed pursuant to section 5101.314 3111.23 of the Revised Code shall be considered rescinded.

If the parties do not raise the issue of the existence or nonexistence of a parent-child relationship in the action and an order is issued pursuant to this section prior to the date the acknowledgment filed and entered on the birth registry under section 5101.314 of the Revised Code becomes final, the acknowledgment shall be considered final as of the date of the issuance of the order. An order issued pursuant to this section shall not affect an acknowledgment that becomes final pursuant to section 5101.314 3111.25 of the Revised Code prior to the issuance of the order.

Sec. 2151.33. (A) Pending hearing of a complaint filed under section 2151.27 of the Revised Code or a motion filed or made under division (B) of this section and the service of citations, the juvenile court may make any temporary disposition of any child that it considers necessary to protect the best interest of the child and that can be made pursuant to division (B) of this section.

The court may order the parents, guardian, or custodian, if the court finds the parents, guardian, or custodian able to do so, to reimburse the court for the expense involved in providing the emergency medical or surgical treatment. Any person who disobeys the order for reimbursement may be adjudged in contempt of court and punished accordingly.

If the emergency medical or surgical treatment is furnished to a child who is found at the hearing to be a nonresident of the county in which the court is located and if the expense of the medical or surgical treatment cannot be recovered from the parents, legal guardian, or custodian of the child, the board of county commissioners of the county in which the child has a legal settlement shall reimburse the court for the reasonable cost of the emergency medical or surgical treatment out of its general fund.

(D) The court may grant an ex parte order upon its own motion or a motion filed or made pursuant to division (C) of this section requesting such an order if it appears to the court that the best interest and the welfare of the child require that the court issue the order immediately. The court, if acting on its own motion, or the person requesting the granting of an ex parte order, to the extent possible, shall give notice of its intent or of the request to the parents, guardian, or custodian of the child who is the subject of the request. If the court issues an ex parte order, the court shall hold a hearing to review the order within seventy-two hours after it is issued or before the end of the next day after the day on which it is issued, whichever occurs first. The court shall give written notice of the hearing to all parties to the action and shall appoint a guardian ad litem for the child prior to the hearing.

(F) Each public children services agency and private child placing agency that receives temporary custody of a child pursuant to this section shall maintain in the child's case record written documentation that it has placed the child, to the extent that it is consistent with the best interest, welfare, and special needs of the child, in the most family-like setting available and in close proximity to the home of the parents, custodian, or guardian of the child.

(G) For good cause shown, any court order that is issued pursuant to this section may be reviewed by the court at any time upon motion of any party to the action or upon the motion of the court.

(G) If a court suspends an offender's driver's or commercial driver's license or permit or nonresident operating privilege under division (E)(5)(d)(ii) of this section, the period of the suspension shall be consecutive to, and commence after, the period of suspension or revocation of the offender's driver's or commercial driver's license or permit or nonresident operating privilege that is imposed under Chapter 4506., 4507., 4509., or 4511. of the Revised Code or under any other provision of law in relation to the violation of division (C) of this section that is the basis of the suspension under division (E)(5)(d)(ii) of this section or in relation to the violation of division (A) of section 4511.19 of the Revised Code that is the basis for that violation of division (C) of this section.

If an offender's license, permit, or privilege has been suspended under division (E)(5)(d)(ii) of this section and the offender, within the preceding seven years, has been convicted of or pleaded guilty to three or more violations of division (C) of this section, division (A) or (B) of section 4511.19 of the Revised Code, a municipal ordinance relating to operating a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol, a drug of abuse, or alcohol and a drug of abuse, a municipal ordinance relating to operating a vehicle with a prohibited concentration of alcohol in the blood, breath, or urine, section 2903.04 of the Revised Code in a case in which the offender was subject to the sanctions described in division (D) of that section, section 2903.06, 2903.07, or 2903.08 of the Revised Code or a municipal ordinance that is substantially similar to section 2903.07 of the Revised Code in a case in which the jury or judge found that the offender was under the influence of alcohol, a drug of abuse, or alcohol and a drug of abuse, or a statute of the United States or of any other state or a municipal ordinance of a municipal corporation located in any other state that is substantially similar to division (A) or (B) of section 4511.19 of the Revised Code, the offender is not entitled to request, and the court shall not grant to the offender, occupational driving privileges under this division. Any other offender whose license, permit, or nonresident operating privilege has been suspended under division (E)(5)(d)(ii) of this section may file with the sentencing court a petition alleging that the suspension would seriously affect the offender's ability to continue employment. Upon satisfactory proof that there is reasonable cause to believe that the suspension would seriously affect the offender's ability to continue employment, the court may grant the offender occupational driving privileges during the period during which the suspension otherwise would be imposed, except that the court shall not grant occupational driving privileges for employment as a driver of commercial motor vehicles to any person who is disqualified from operating a commercial motor vehicle under section 2301.374 3119.611 or 4506.16 of the Revised Code OR WHOSE COMMERCIAL DRIVER'S LICENSE OR COMMERCIAL DRIVER'S TEMPORARY INSTRUCTION PERMIT HAS BEEN SUSPENDED UNDER SECTION 3123.58 of the Revised Code.

(H)(1) If a person violates division (C) of this section and if, at the time of the violation, there were two or more children under eighteen years of age in the motor vehicle involved in the violation, the offender may be convicted of a violation of division (C) of this section for each of the children, but the court may sentence the offender for only one of the violations.

(i) For purposes of the provisions of section 4511.99 of the Revised Code that set forth the penalties and sanctions for a violation of division (A) of section 4511.19 of the Revised Code, the conviction of or plea of guilty to the violation of division (C) of this section shall not constitute a violation of division (A) of section 4511.19 of the Revised Code;

(ii) For purposes of any provision of law that refers to a conviction of or plea of guilty to a violation of division (A) of section 4511.19 of the Revised Code and that is not described in division (H)(2)(a)(i) of this section, the conviction of or plea of guilty to the violation of division (C) of this section shall constitute a conviction of or plea of guilty to a violation of division (A) of section 4511.19 of the Revised Code.

(b) If a person is convicted of or pleads guilty to a violation of division (C) of this section and the person also is convicted of or pleads guilty to a separate charge charging the violation of division (A) of section 4511.19 of the Revised Code that was the basis of the charge of the violation of division (C) of this section, the conviction of or plea of guilty to the violation of division (C) of this section shall not constitute, for purposes of any provision of law that refers to a conviction of or plea of guilty to a violation of division (A) of section 4511.19 of the Revised Code, a conviction of or plea of guilty to a violation of division (A) of section 4511.19 of the Revised Code.

Sec. 3103.03. (A) Each married person must support the person's self and spouse out of the person's property or by the person's labor. If a married person is unable to do so, the spouse of the married person must assist in the support so far as the spouse is able. The biological or adoptive parent of a minor child must support the parent's minor children out of the parent's property or by the parent's labor.

(B) Notwithstanding section 3109.01 of the Revised Code, the parental duty of support to children, including the duty of a parent to pay support pursuant to a child support order, shall continue beyond the age of majority as long as the child continuously attends on a full-time basis any recognized and accredited high school or a court-issued child support order provides that the duty of support continues beyond the age of majority. Except in cases in which a COURT-ISSUED child support order requires the duty of support to continue for any period after the child reaches age nineteen, the order shall not remain in effect after the child reaches age nineteen.

(C) If a married person neglects to support the person's spouse in accordance with this section, any other person, in good faith, may supply the spouse with necessaries for the support of the spouse and recover the reasonable value of the necessaries supplied from the married person who neglected to support the spouse unless the spouse abandons that person without cause.

(D) If a parent neglects to support the parent's minor child in accordance with this section and if the minor child in question is unemancipated, any other person, in good faith, may supply the minor child with necessaries for the support of the minor child and recover the reasonable value of the necessaries supplied from the parent who neglected to support the minor child.

(E) If a decedent during the decedent's lifetime has purchased an irrevocable preneed funeral contract pursuant to section 1109.75 of the Revised Code, then the duty of support owed to a spouse pursuant to this section does not include an obligation to pay for the funeral expenses of the deceased spouse. This division does not preclude a surviving spouse from assuming by contract the obligation to pay for the funeral expenses of the deceased spouse.

(A) As used in this section, "spousal support" means any payment or payments to be made to a spouse or former spouse, or to a third party for the benefit of a spouse or a former spouse, that is both for sustenance and for support of the spouse or former spouse. "Spousal support" does not include any payment made to a spouse or former spouse, or to a third party for the benefit of a spouse or former spouse, that is made as part of a division or distribution of property or a distributive award under section 3105.171 of the Revised Code.

(B) In divorce and legal separation proceedings, upon the request of either party and after the court determines the division or disbursement of property under section 3105.171 of the Revised Code, the court of common pleas may award reasonable spousal support to either party. During the pendency of any divorce, or legal separation proceeding, the court may award reasonable temporary spousal support to either party.

An award of spousal support may be allowed in real or personal property, or both, or by decreeing a sum of money, payable either in gross or by installments, from future income or otherwise, as the court considers equitable.

Any award of spousal support made under this section shall terminate upon the death of either party, unless the order containing the award expressly provides otherwise.

(C)(1) In determining whether spousal support is appropriate and reasonable, and in determining the nature, amount, and terms of payment, and duration of spousal support, which is payable either in gross or in installments, the court shall consider all of the following factors:

(a) The income of the parties, from all sources, including, but not limited to, income derived from property divided, disbursed, or distributed under section 3105.171 of the Revised Code;

(b) The relative earning abilities of the parties;

(c) The ages and the physical, mental, and emotional conditions of the parties;

(i) The relative assets and liabilities of the parties, including but not limited to any court-ordered payments by the parties;

(k) The time and expense necessary for the spouse who is seeking spousal support to acquire education, training, or job experience so that the spouse will be qualified to obtain appropriate employment, provided the education, training, or job experience, and employment is, in fact, sought;

(l) The tax consequences, for each party, of an award of spousal support;

(m) The lost income production capacity of either party that resulted from that party's marital responsibilities;

(n) Any other factor that the court expressly finds to be relevant and equitable.

(2) In determining whether spousal support is reasonable and in determining the amount and terms of payment of spousal support, each party shall be considered to have contributed equally to the production of marital income.

(D) In an action brought solely for an order for legal separation under section 3105.17 of the Revised Code, any continuing order for periodic payments of money entered pursuant to this section is subject to further order of the court upon changed circumstances of either party.

(E) If a continuing order for periodic payments of money as alimony is entered in a divorce or dissolution of marriage action that is determined on or after May 2, 1986, and before January 1, 1991, or if a continuing order for periodic payments of money as spousal support is entered in a divorce or dissolution of marriage action that is determined on or after January 1, 1991, the court that enters the decree of divorce or dissolution of marriage does not have jurisdiction to modify the amount or terms of the alimony or spousal support unless the court determines that the circumstances of either party have changed and unless one of the following applies:

(1) In the case of a divorce, the decree or a separation agreement of the parties to the divorce that is incorporated into the decree contains a provision specifically authorizing the court to modify the amount or terms of alimony or spousal support.

(2) In the case of a dissolution of marriage, the separation agreement that is approved by the court and incorporated into the decree contains a provision specifically authorizing the court to modify the amount or terms of alimony or spousal support.

The separation agreement shall provide for a division of all property; spousal support; if there are minor children of the marriage, the allocation of parental rights and responsibilities for the care of the minor children, the designation of a residential parent and legal custodian of the minor children, child support, and visitation PARENTING TIME rights; and, if the spouses so desire, an authorization for the court to modify the amount or terms of spousal support provided in the separation agreement. If there are minor children of the marriage, the spouses may address the allocation of the parental rights and responsibilities for the care of the minor children by including in the separation agreement a plan under which both parents will have shared rights and responsibilities for the care of the minor children. The spouses shall file the plan with the petition for dissolution of marriage and shall include in the plan the provisions described in division (G) of section 3109.04 of the Revised Code.

(2) The division of property in the separation agreement shall include any participant account, as defined in section 145.71 of the Revised Code, of either of the spouses, to the extent of the following:

(B) If, upon review of the testimony of both spouses and of the report of the investigator pursuant to the Rules of Civil Procedure, the court approves the separation agreement and any amendments to it agreed upon by the parties, it shall grant a decree of dissolution of marriage that incorporates the separation agreement.

The motion shall contain a complaint for divorce that contains grounds for a divorce and that otherwise complies with the Rules of Civil Procedure and this chapter. The divorce action then shall proceed in accordance with the Rules of Civil Procedure in the same manner as if the motion had been the original complaint in the action, including, but not limited to, the issuance and service of summons pursuant to Civil Rules 4 to 4.6, except that no court fees shall be charged upon conversion of the action for dissolution of marriage into a divorce action under this division.

(A) In any divorce, legal separation, or annulment proceeding and in any proceeding pertaining to the allocation of parental rights and responsibilities for the care of a child, upon hearing the testimony of either or both parents and considering any mediation report filed pursuant to section 3109.052 of the Revised Code and in accordance with sections 3109.21 to 3109.36 of the Revised Code, the court shall allocate the parental rights and responsibilities for the care of the minor children of the marriage. Subject to division (D)(2) of this section, the court may allocate the parental rights and responsibilities for the care of the children in either of the following ways:

(1) If neither parent files a pleading or motion in accordance with division (G) of this section, if at least one parent files a pleading or motion under that division but no parent who filed a pleading or motion under that division also files a plan for shared parenting, or if at least one parent files both a pleading or motion and a shared parenting plan under that division but no plan for shared parenting is in the best interest of the children, the court, in a manner consistent with the best interest of the children, shall allocate the parental rights and responsibilities for the care of the children primarily to one of the parents, designate that parent as the residential parent and the legal custodian of the child, and divide between the parents the other rights and responsibilities for the care of the children, including, but not limited to, the responsibility to provide support for the children and the right of the parent who is not the residential parent to have continuing contact with the children.

(2) If at least one parent files a pleading or motion in accordance with division (G) of this section and a plan for shared parenting pursuant to that division and if a plan for shared parenting is in the best interest of the children and is approved by the court in accordance with division (D)(1) of this section, the court may allocate the parental rights and responsibilities for the care of the children to both parents and issue a shared parenting order requiring the parents to share all or some of the aspects of the physical and legal care of the children in accordance with the approved plan for shared parenting. If the court issues a shared parenting order under this division and it is necessary for the purpose of receiving public assistance, the court shall designate which one of the parents' residences is to serve as the child's home. The child support obligations of the parents under a shared parenting order issued under this division shall be determined in accordance with section 3113.215 CHAPTERS 3119., 3121., 3123., AND 3125. of the Revised Code.

(B)(1) When making the allocation of the parental rights and responsibilities for the care of the children under this section in an original proceeding or in any proceeding for modification of a prior order of the court making the allocation, the court shall take into account that which would be in the best interest of the children. In determining the child's best interest for purposes of making its allocation of the parental rights and responsibilities for the care of the child and for purposes of resolving any issues related to the making of that allocation, the court, in its discretion, may and, upon the request of either party, shall interview in chambers any or all of the involved children regarding their wishes and concerns with respect to the allocation.

(2) If the court interviews any child pursuant to division (B)(1) of this section, all of the following apply:

(a) The court, in its discretion, may and, upon the motion of either parent, shall appoint a guardian ad litem for the child.

(b) The court first shall determine the reasoning ability of the child. If the court determines that the child does not have sufficient reasoning ability to express his THE CHILD'S wishes and concern with respect to the allocation of parental rights and responsibilities for the care of the child, it shall not determine the child's wishes and concerns with respect to the allocation. If the court determines that the child has sufficient reasoning ability to express his THE CHILD'S wishes or concerns with respect to the allocation, it then shall determine whether, because of special circumstances, it would not be in the best interest of the child to determine the child's wishes and concerns with respect to the allocation. If the court determines that, because of special circumstances, it would not be in the best interest of the child to determine the child's wishes and concerns with respect to the allocation, it shall not determine the child's wishes and concerns with respect to the allocation and shall enter its written findings of fact and opinion in the journal. If the court determines that it would be in the best interests of the child to determine the child's wishes and concerns with respect to the allocation, it shall proceed to make that determination.

(c) The interview shall be conducted in chambers, and no person other than the child, the child's attorney, the judge, any necessary court personnel, and, in the judge's discretion, the attorney of each parent shall be permitted to be present in the chambers during the interview.

(3) No person shall obtain or attempt to obtain from a child a written or recorded statement or affidavit setting forth the child's wishes and concerns regarding the allocation of parental rights and responsibilities concerning the child. No court, in determining the child's best interest for purposes of making its allocation of the parental rights and responsibilities for the care of the child or for purposes of resolving any issues related to the making of that allocation, shall accept or consider a written or recorded statement or affidavit that purports to set forth the child's wishes and concerns regarding those matters.

(C) Prior to trial, the court may cause an investigation to be made as to the character, family relations, past conduct, earning ability, and financial worth of each parent and may order the parents and their minor children to submit to medical, psychological, and psychiatric examinations. The report of the investigation and examinations shall be made available to either parent or his THE PARENT'S counsel of record not less than five days before trial, upon written request. The report shall be signed by the investigator, and the investigator shall be subject to cross-examination by either parent concerning the contents of the report. The court may tax as costs all or any part of the expenses for each investigation.

If the court determines that either parent previously has been convicted of or pleaded guilty to any criminal offense involving any act that resulted in a child being a neglected child, that either parent previously has been determined to be the perpetrator of the neglectful act that is the basis of an adjudication that a child is a neglected child, or that there is reason to believe that either parent has acted in a manner resulting in a child being a neglected child, the court shall consider that fact against naming that parent the residential parent and against granting a shared parenting decree. When the court allocates parental rights and responsibilities for the care of children or determines whether to grant shared parenting in any proceeding, it shall consider whether either parent has been convicted of or pleaded guilty to a violation of section 2919.25 of the Revised Code involving a victim who at the time of the commission of the offense was a member of the family or household that is the subject of the proceeding, has been convicted of or pleaded guilty to any other offense involving a victim who at the time of the commission of the offense was a member of the family or household that is the subject of the proceeding and caused physical harm to the victim in the commission of the offense, or has been determined to be the perpetrator of the abusive act that is the basis of an adjudication that a child is an abused child. If the court determines that either parent has been convicted of or pleaded guilty to a violation of section 2919.25 of the Revised Code involving a victim who at the time of the commission of the offense was a member of the family or household that is the subject of the proceeding, has been convicted of or pleaded guilty to any other offense involving a victim who at the time of the commission of the offense was a member of the family or household that is the subject of the proceeding and caused physical harm to the victim in the commission of the offense, or has been determined to be the perpetrator of the abusive act that is the basis of an adjudication that a child is an abused child, it may designate that parent as the residential parent and may issue a shared parenting decree or order only if it determines that it is in the best interest of the child to name that parent the residential parent or to issue a shared parenting decree or order and it makes specific written findings of fact to support its determination.

(D)(1)(a) Upon the filing of a pleading or motion by either parent or both parents, in accordance with division (G) of this section, requesting shared parenting and the filing of a shared parenting plan in accordance with that division, the court shall comply with division (D)(1)(a)(i), (ii), or (iii) of this section, whichever is applicable:

(i) If both parents jointly make the request in their pleadings or jointly file the motion and also jointly file the plan, the court shall review the parents' plan to determine if it is in the best interest of the children. If the court determines that the plan is in the best interest of the children, the court shall approve it. If the court determines that the plan or any part of the plan is not in the best interest of the children, the court shall require the parents to make appropriate changes to the plan to meet the court's objections to it. If changes to the plan are made to meet the court's objections, and if the new plan is in the best interest of the children, the court shall approve the plan. If changes to the plan are not made to meet the court's objections, or if the parents attempt to make changes to the plan to meet the court's objections, but the court determines that the new plan or any part of the new plan still is not in the best interest of the children, the court may reject the portion of the parents' pleadings or deny their motion requesting shared parenting of the children and proceed as if the request in the pleadings or the motion had not been made. The court shall not approve a plan under this division unless it determines that the plan is in the best interest of the children.

(ii) If each parent makes a request in his THE PARENT'S pleadings or files a motion and each also files his own A separate plan, the court shall review each plan filed to determine if either is in the best interest of the children. If the court determines that one of the filed plans is in the best interest of the children, the court may approve the plan. If the court determines that neither filed plan is in the best interest of the children, the court may order each parent to submit appropriate changes to his own THE PARENT'S plan or both of the filed plans to meet the court's objections, or may select one of the filed plans and order each parent to submit appropriate changes to the selected plan to meet the court's objections. If changes to the plan or plans are submitted to meet the court's objections, and if any of the filed plans with the changes is in the best interest of the children, the court may approve the plan with the changes. If changes to the plan or plans are not submitted to meet the court's objections, or if the parents submit changes to the plan or plans to meet the court's objections but the court determines that none of the filed plans with the submitted changes is in the best interest of the children, the court may reject the portion of the parents' pleadings or deny their motions requesting shared parenting of the children and proceed as if the requests in the pleadings or the motions had not been made. If the court approves a plan under this division, either as originally filed or with submitted changes, or if the court rejects the portion of the parents' pleadings or denies their motions requesting shared parenting under this division and proceeds as if the requests in the pleadings or the motions had not been made, the court shall enter in the record of the case findings of fact and conclusions of law as to the reasons for the approval or the rejection or denial. Division (D)(1)(b) of this section applies in relation to the approval or disapproval of a plan under this division.

(iii) If each parent makes a request in his THE PARENT'S pleadings or files a motion but only one parent files his own A plan, or if only one parent makes a request in his THE PARENT'S pleadings or files a motion and also files a plan, the court in the best interest of the children may order the other parent to file a plan for shared parenting in accordance with division (G) of this section. The court shall review each plan filed to determine if any plan is in the best interest of the children. If the court determines that one of the filed plans is in the best interest of the children, the court may approve the plan. If the court determines that no filed plan is in the best interest of the children, the court may order each parent to submit appropriate changes to his own THE PARENT'S plan or both of the filed plans to meet the court's objections or may select one filed plan and order each parent to submit appropriate changes to the selected plan to meet the court's objections. If changes to the plan or plans are submitted to meet the court's objections, and if any of the filed plans with the changes is in the best interest of the children, the court may approve the plan with the changes. If changes to the plan or plans are not submitted to meet the court's objections, or if the parents submit changes to the plan or plans to meet the court's objections but the court determines that none of the filed plans with the submitted changes is in the best interest of the children, the court may reject the portion of the parents' pleadings or deny the parents' motion or reject the portion of the parents' pleadings or deny their motions requesting shared parenting of the children and proceed as if the request or requests or the motion or motions had not been made. If the court approves a plan under this division, either as originally filed or with submitted changes, or if the court rejects the portion of the pleadings or denies the motion or motions requesting shared parenting under this division and proceeds as if the request or requests or the motion or motions had not been made, the court shall enter in the record of the case findings of fact and conclusions of law as to the reasons for the approval or the rejection or denial. Division (D)(1)(b) of this section applies in relation to the approval or disapproval of a plan under this division.

(b) The approval of a plan under division (D)(1)(a)(ii) or (iii) of this section is discretionary with the court. The court shall not approve more than one plan under either division and shall not approve a plan under either division unless it determines that the plan is in the best interest of the children. If the court, under either division, does not determine that any filed plan or any filed plan with submitted changes is in the best interest of the children, the court shall not approve any plan.

(c) Whenever possible, the court shall require that a shared parenting plan approved under division (D)(1)(a)(i), (ii), or (iii) of this section ensure the opportunity for both parents to have frequent and continuing contact with the child, unless frequent and continuing contact with any parent would not be in the best interest of the child.

(d) If a court approves a shared parenting plan under division (D)(1)(a)(i), (ii), or (iii) of this section, the approved plan shall be incorporated into a final shared parenting decree granting the parents the shared parenting of the children. Any final shared parenting decree shall be issued at the same time as and shall be appended to the final decree of dissolution, divorce, annulment, or legal separation arising out of the action out of which the question of the allocation of parental rights and responsibilities for the care of the children arose.

No provisional shared parenting decree shall be issued in relation to any shared parenting plan approved under division (D)(1)(a)(i), (ii), or (iii) of this section. A final shared parenting decree issued under this division has immediate effect as a final decree on the date of its issuance, subject to modification or termination as authorized by this section.

(2) If the court finds, with respect to any child under eighteen years of age, that it is in the best interest of the child for neither parent to be designated the residential parent and legal custodian of the child, it may commit the child to a relative of the child or certify a copy of its findings, together with as much of the record and the further information, in narrative form or otherwise, that it considers necessary or as the juvenile court requests, to the juvenile court for further proceedings, and, upon the certification, the juvenile court has exclusive jurisdiction.

(E)(1)(a) The court shall not modify a prior decree allocating parental rights and responsibilities for the care of children unless it finds, based on facts that have arisen since the prior decree or that were unknown to the court at the time of the prior decree, that a change has occurred in the circumstances of the child, his THE CHILD'S residential parent, or either of the parents subject to a shared parenting decree, and that the modification is necessary to serve the best interest of the child. In applying these standards, the court shall retain the residential parent designated by the prior decree or the prior shared parenting decree, unless a modification is in the best interest of the child and one of the following applies:

(i) The residential parent agrees to a change in the residential parent or both parents under a shared parenting decree agree to a change in the designation of residential parent.

(ii) The child, with the consent of the residential parent or of both parents under a shared parenting decree, has been integrated into the family of the person seeking to become the residential parent.

(iii) The harm likely to be caused by a change of environment is outweighed by the advantages of the change of environment to the child.

(b) One or both of the parents under a prior decree allocating parental rights and responsibilities for the care of children that is not a shared parenting decree may file a motion requesting that the prior decree be modified to give both parents shared rights and responsibilities for the care of the children. The motion shall include both a request for modification of the prior decree and a request for a shared parenting order that complies with division (G) of this section. Upon the filing of the motion, if the court determines that a modification of the prior decree is authorized under division (E)(1)(a) of this section, the court may modify the prior decree to grant a shared parenting order, provided that the court shall not modify the prior decree to grant a shared parenting order unless the court complies with divisions (A) and (D)(1) of this section and, in accordance with those divisions, approves the submitted shared parenting plan and determines that shared parenting would be in the best interest of the children.

(2) In addition to a modification authorized under division (E)(1) of this section:

Sec. 3111.03. (A) A man is presumed to be the natural father of a child under any of the following circumstances:

(1) The man and the child's mother are or have been married to each other, and the child is born during the marriage or is born within three hundred days after the marriage is terminated by death, annulment, divorce, or dissolution or after the man and the child's mother separate pursuant to a separation agreement.

(2) The man and the child's mother attempted, before the child's birth, to marry each other by a marriage that was solemnized in apparent compliance with the law of the state in which the marriage took place, the marriage is or could be declared invalid, and either of the following applies:

(a) The marriage can only be declared invalid by a court and the child is born during the marriage or within three hundred days after the termination of the marriage by death, annulment, divorce, or dissolution;

(b) The attempted marriage is invalid without a court order and the child is born within three hundred days after the termination of cohabitation.

(3) The man and the child's mother, after the child's birth, married or attempted to marry each other by a marriage solemnized in apparent compliance with the law of the state in which the marriage took place, and either of the following occurs:

(a) The man has acknowledged his paternity of the child in a writing sworn to before a notary public;

(b) The man is required to support the child by a written voluntary promise or by a court order.

(4) An acknowledgment of paternity HAS BEEN filed with the division of child support in the department of human services becomes final pursuant to 3111.23 OR FORMER section 2151.232, 3111.211, or 5101.314 of the Revised Code AND HAS NOT BECOME FINAL UNDER FORMER SECTION 3111.211 OR 5101.314 OR SECTION 2151.232, 3111.25, OR 3111.821 OF THE REVISED CODE.

(5) A court or administrative body, pursuant to section 3111.09, 3111.22, or 3115.52 of the Revised Code or otherwise, has ordered that genetic tests be conducted or the natural mother and alleged natural father voluntarily agreed to genetic testing pursuant to former section 3111.21 of the Revised Code to determine the father and child relationship and the results of the genetic tests indicate a probability of ninety-nine per cent or greater that the man is the biological father of the child.

(B)(1) A presumption arises under division (A)(3) of this section regardless of the validity or invalidity of the marriage of the parents. A presumption that arises under this section can only be rebutted by clear and convincing evidence that includes the results of genetic testing, except that a presumption that arises under division (A)(1) or (2) of this section is conclusive as provided in division (A) of section 3111.37 3111.95 of the Revised Code and cannot be rebutted. AN ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF PATERNITY THAT BECOMES FINAL UNDER SECTION 2151.232, 3111.25, OR 3111.821 of the Revised Code IS NOT A PRESUMPTION AND SHALL BE CONSIDERED A FINAL AND ENFORCEABLE DETERMINATION OF PATERNITY UNLESS THE ACKNOWLEDGMENT IS RESCINDED UNDER SECTION 3111.28 of the Revised Code. If two or more conflicting presumptions arise under this section, the court shall determine, based upon logic and policy considerations, which presumption controls. If a determination described in division (B)(3) of this section conflicts with a presumption that arises under this section the determination is controlling.

(2) Notwithstanding division (B)(1) of this section, a presumption that arises under division (A)(4) of this section may only be rebutted as provided in division (B)(2) of section 5101.314 of the Revised Code.

(3) Notwithstanding division (A)(5) of this section, a final and enforceable determination finding the existence of a father and child relationship pursuant to former section 3111.21 or section 3111.22 of the Revised Code that is based on the results of genetic tests ordered pursuant to either of those sections, is not a presumption.

(C) A (1) EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN DIVISION (C)(2) OF THIS SECTION, A presumption of paternity that arose pursuant to this section prior to the effective date of this amendment shall remain valid on and after that date unless rebutted pursuant to division (B) of this section. This division does not apply to a determination described in division (B)(3) of this section AS DIVISION (B)(3) OF THIS SECTION EXISTED PRIOR TO THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THIS AMENDMENT.

(2) A PRESUMPTION OF PATERNITY THAT AROSE PRIOR TO THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THIS AMENDMENT BASED ON AN ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF PATERNITY THAT BECAME FINAL UNDER FORMER SECTION 3111.211 OR 5101.314 OR SECTION 2151.232 of the Revised Code IS NOT A PRESUMPTION AND SHALL BE CONSIDERED A FINAL AND ENFORCEABLE DETERMINATION OF PATERNITY UNLESS THE ACKNOWLEDGMENT IS RESCINDED UNDER SECTION 3111.28 of the Revised Code.

Sec. 3111.04. (A) An action to determine the existence or nonexistence of the father and child relationship may be brought by the child or the child's personal representative, the child's mother or her personal representative, a man alleged or alleging himself to be the child's father, the child support enforcement agency of the county in which the child resides if the child's mother is a recipient of public assistance or of services under Title IV-D of the "Social Security Act," 88 Stat. 2351 (1975), 42 U.S.C.A. 651, as amended, or the alleged father's personal representative.

If an action for divorce, dissolution, or legal separation has been filed in a court of common pleas, that court of common pleas has original jurisdiction to determine if the parent and child relationship exists between one or both of the parties and any child alleged or presumed to be the child of one or both of the parties.

(B) A person who has sexual intercourse in this state submits to the jurisdiction of the courts of this state as to an action brought under sections 3111.01 to 3111.19 3111.18 of the Revised Code with respect to a child who may have been conceived by that act of intercourse. In addition to any other method provided by the Rules of Civil Procedure, personal jurisdiction may be acquired by personal service of summons outside this state or by certified mail with proof of actual receipt.

Sec. 3111.07.

The court may align the parties. The child shall be made a party to the action unless a party shows good cause for not doing so. Separate counsel shall be appointed for the child if the court finds that the child's interests conflict with those of the mother.

If the person bringing the action knows that a particular man is not or, based upon the facts and circumstances present, could not be the natural father of the child, the person bringing the action shall not allege in the action that the man is the natural father of the child and shall not make the man a party to the action.

(B) If an action is brought pursuant to sections 3111.01 to 3111.19 3111.18 of the Revised Code and the child to whom the action pertains is or was being provided support by the department of human services, a county department of human services, or another public agency, the department, county department, or agency may intervene for purposes of collecting or recovering the support.

Sec. 3111.08. (A) An action brought pursuant to sections 3111.01 to 3111.19 3111.18 of the Revised Code to declare the existence or nonexistence of the father and child relationship is a civil action and shall be governed by the Rules of Civil Procedure unless a different procedure is specifically provided by those sections.

(B) If an action is brought against a person to declare the existence or nonexistence of the father and child relationship between that person and a child and the person in his answer admits the existence or nonexistence of the father and child relationship as alleged in the action, the court shall enter judgment in accordance with section 3111.13 of the Revised Code. If the person against whom the action is brought fails to plead or otherwise defend against the action, the opposing party may make an oral or written motion for default judgment pursuant to the Rules of Civil Procedure. The court shall render a judgment by default against the person after hearing satisfactory evidence of the truth of the statements in the complaint.

Sec. 3111.09. (A)(1) In any action instituted under sections 3111.01 to 3111.19 3111.18 of the Revised Code, the court, upon its own motion, may order and, upon the motion of any party to the action, shall order the child's mother, the child, the alleged father, and any other person who is a defendant in the action to submit to genetic tests. Instead of or in addition to genetic testing ordered pursuant to this section, the court may use the following information to determine the existence of a parent and child relationship between the child and the child's mother, the alleged father, or another defendant:

(a) A DNA record of the child's mother, the child, the alleged father, or any other defendant that is stored in the DNA database pursuant to section 109.573 of the Revised Code;

(b) Results of genetic tests conducted on the child, the child's mother, the alleged father, or any other defendant pursuant to former section 3111.21 or section 3111.22 OR SECTIONS 3111.38 TO 3111.54 of the Revised Code.

If the court intends to use the information described in division (A)(1)(a) of this section, it shall order the superintendent of the bureau of criminal identification and investigation to disclose the information to the court. If the court intends to use the genetic test results described in division (A)(1)(b) of this section, it shall order the agency that ordered the tests to provide the report of the genetic test results to the court.

(2) If the child support enforcement agency is not made a party to the action, the clerk of the court shall schedule the genetic testing no later than thirty days after the court issues its order. If the agency is made a party to the action, the agency shall schedule the genetic testing in accordance with the rules adopted by the department of human services pursuant to section 2301.35 3111.611 of the Revised Code. If the alleged father of a child brings an action under sections 3111.01 to 3111.19 3111.18 of the Revised Code and if the mother of the child willfully fails to submit to genetic testing or if the mother is the custodian of the child and willfully fails to submit the child to genetic testing, the court, on the motion of the alleged father, shall issue an order determining the existence of a parent and child relationship between the father and the child without genetic testing. If the mother or other guardian or custodian of the child brings an action under sections 3111.01 to 3111.19 3111.18 of the Revised Code and if the alleged father of the child willfully fails to submit himself to genetic testing or, if the alleged father is the custodian of the child and willfully fails to submit the child to genetic testing, the court shall issue an order determining the existence of a parent and child relationship between the father and the child without genetic testing. If a party shows good cause for failing to submit to genetic testing or for failing to submit the child to genetic testing, the court shall not consider the failure to be willful.

(3) Except as provided in division (A)(4) of this section, any fees charged for the tests shall be paid by the party that requests them, unless the custodian of the child is represented by the child support enforcement agency in its role as the agency providing enforcement of child support orders under Title IV-D of the "Social Security Act," 88 Stat. 2351 (1975), 42 U.S.C. 651, as amended, the custodian is a participant in Ohio works first under Chapter 5107. of the Revised Code for the benefit of the child, or the defendant in the action is found to be indigent, in which case the child support enforcement agency shall pay the costs of genetic testing. The child support enforcement agency, within guidelines contained in that federal law, shall use funds received pursuant to Title IV-D of the "Social Security Act," 88 Stat. 2351 (1975), 42 U.S.C. 651, as amended, to pay the fees charged for the tests.

Except as provided in division (A)(4) of this section, if there is a dispute as to who shall pay the fees charged for genetic testing, the child support enforcement agency shall pay the fees, but neither the court nor the agency shall delay genetic testing due to a dispute as to who shall pay the genetic testing fees. The child support enforcement agency or the person who paid the fees charged for the genetic testing may seek reimbursement for the genetic testing fees from the person against whom the court assesses the costs of the action. Any funds used in accordance with this division by the child support enforcement agency shall be in addition to any other funds that the agency is entitled to receive as a result of any contractual provision for specific funding allocations for the agency between the county, the state, and the federal government.

(4) If, pursuant to former section 3111.21 or section 3111.22 OR SECTIONS 3111.38 TO 3111.54 of the Revised Code, the agency has previously conducted genetic tests on the child, child's mother, alleged father, or any other defendant and the current action pursuant to section 3111.01 to 3111.19 3111.18 of the Revised Code has been brought to object to the result of those previous tests, the agency shall not be required to pay the fees for conducting genetic tests pursuant to this section on the same persons.

(B)(1) The genetic tests shall be made by qualified examiners who are authorized by the court or the department of human services. An examiner conducting a genetic test, upon the completion of the test, shall send a complete report of the test results to the clerk of the court that ordered the test or, if the agency is a party to the action, to the child support enforcement agency of the county in which the court that ordered the test is located.

(2) If a court orders the superintendent of the bureau of criminal identification and investigation to disclose information regarding a DNA record stored in the DNA database pursuant to section 109.573 of the Revised Code, the superintendent shall send the information to the clerk of the court that issued the order or, if the agency is a party to the action, to the child support enforcement agency of the county in which the court that issued the order is located.

(3) If a court orders the child support enforcement agency to provide the report of the genetic test results obtained pursuant to former section 3111.21 or section 3111.22 OR SECTIONS 3111.38 TO 3111.54 of the Revised Code, the agency shall send the information to the person or government entity designated by the court that issued the order.

(4) The clerk, agency, or person or government entity under division (B)(3) of this section that receives a report or information pursuant to division (B)(1), (2), or (3) of this section shall mail a copy of the report or information to the attorney of record for each party or, if a party is not represented by an attorney, to the party. The clerk, agency, or person or government entity under division (B)(3) of this section that receives a copy of the report or information shall include with the report or information sent to an attorney of record of a party or a party a notice that the party may object to the admission into evidence of the report or information by filing a written objection as described in division (D) of section 3111.12 of the Revised Code with the court that ordered the tests or ordered the disclosure of the information no later than fourteen days after the report or information was mailed to the attorney of record or to the party. The examiners may be called as witnesses to testify as to their findings. Any party may demand that other qualified examiners perform independent genetic tests under order of the court. The number and qualifications of the independent examiners shall be determined by the court.

(C) Nothing in this section prevents any party to the action from producing other expert evidence on the issue covered by this section, but, if other expert witnesses are called by a party to the action, the fees of these expert witnesses shall be paid by the party calling the witnesses and only ordinary witness fees for these expert witnesses shall be taxed as costs in the action.

(D) If the court finds that the conclusions of all the examiners are that the alleged father is not the father of the child, the court shall enter judgment that the alleged father is not the father of the child. If the examiners disagree in their findings or conclusions, the court shall determine the father of the child based upon all the evidence.

(E) As used in sections 3111.01 to 3111.29 3111.85 of the Revised Code:

(1) "Genetic tests" and "genetic testing" mean either of the following:

(a) Tissue or blood tests, including tests that identify the presence or absence of common blood group antigens, the red blood cell antigens, human lymphocyte antigens, serum enzymes, serum proteins, or genetic markers;

Any fees charged for the tests shall be paid by the party that requests them unless the court orders the fees taxed as costs in the action.

(E) All other evidence relevant to the issue of paternity of the child.

Sec. 3111.11. If the person against whom an action is brought pursuant to sections 3111.01 to 3111.19 3111.18 of the Revised Code does not admit in his answer the existence or nonexistence of the father and child relationship, the court shall hold a pretrial hearing, in accordance with the Civil Rules, at a time set by the court. At the pretrial hearing, the court shall notify each party to the action that the party may file a motion requesting the court to order the child's mother, the alleged father, and any other person who is a defendant in the action to submit to genetic tests and, if applicable, to the appropriate tests referred to in section 3111.10 of the Revised Code.

A presumption that arises under division (A)(1) or (2) of section 3111.03 of the Revised Code is conclusive with respect to this father and child relationship, and no action or proceeding under sections 3111.01 to 3111.19 3111.18 or section 3111.22 SECTIONS 3111.38 TO 3111.54 of the Revised Code shall affect the relationship.

If a recipient who is married and her husband make a good faith effort to execute a written consent that is in compliance with section 3111.35 3111.93 of the Revised Code relative to a non-spousal artificial insemination, the failure of the written consent to so comply shall not affect the paternity consequences set forth in division (A) of section 3111.37 3111.95 of the Revised Code.

The remedies and procedures provided in this section are in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other available civil or criminal remedies.

(H) The filing of proceedings under this section does not excuse a person from filing any report or giving any notice required by section 2151.421 of the Revised Code or by any other law.

Sec. 3119.024. AT LEAST ONCE EVERY FOUR YEARS, THE DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN SERVICES SHALL REVIEW THE BASIC CHILD SUPPORT SCHEDULE SET FORTH IN SECTION 3119.021 of the Revised Code TO DETERMINE WHETHER CHILD SUPPORT ORDERS ISSUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE SCHEDULE AND WORKSHEETS ADEQUATELY PROVIDE FOR THE NEEDS OF THE CHILDREN WHO ARE SUBJECT TO THE CHILD SUPPORT ORDERS, PREPARE A REPORT OF ITS REVIEW, AND SUBMIT A COPY OF THE REPORT TO BOTH HOUSES OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY.

FOR EACH REVIEW, THE DEPARTMENT SHALL ESTABLISH A CHILD SUPPORT GUIDELINE ADVISORY COUNCIL TO ASSIST THE DEPARTMENT IN THE COMPLETION OF ITS REVIEWS AND REPORTS. EACH COUNCIL SHALL BE COMPOSED OF OBLIGORS; OBLIGEES; JUDGES OF COURTS OF COMMON PLEAS WHO HAVE JURISDICTION OVER DOMESTIC RELATIONS CASES; ATTORNEYS WHOSE PRACTICE INCLUDES A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF DOMESTIC RELATIONS CASES; REPRESENTATIVES OF CHILD SUPPORT ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES; OTHER PERSONS INTERESTED IN THE WELFARE OF CHILDREN; THREE MEMBERS OF THE SENATE APPOINTED BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE SENATE, NO MORE THAN TWO OF WHOM ARE MEMBERS OF THE SAME PARTY; AND THREE MEMBERS OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES APPOINTED BY THE SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE, NO MORE THAN TWO OF WHOM ARE MEMBERS OF THE SAME PARTY.

THE DEPARTMENT SHALL CONSIDER INPUT FROM THE COUNCIL PRIOR TO THE COMPLETION OF ANY REPORT UNDER THIS SECTION.

THE ADVISORY COUNCIL SHALL CEASE TO EXIST AT THE TIME THAT IT SUBMITS ITS REPORT TO THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY.

ANY EXPENSES INCURRED BY AN ADVISORY COUNCIL SHALL BE PAID BY THE DEPARTMENT.

ON OR BEFORE THE FIRST DAY OF MARCH OF EVERY FOURTH YEAR AFTER 1993, THE DEPARTMENT SHALL SUBMIT A REPORT UNDER THIS DIVISION TO BOTH HOUSES OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY.

Sec. 3119.03. IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN WHICH THE COURT DETERMINES THE AMOUNT OF CHILD SUPPORT THAT WILL BE ORDERED TO BE PAID PURSUANT TO A CHILD SUPPORT ORDER OR AT ANY TIME A CHILD SUPPORT ENFORCEMENT AGENCY DETERMINES THE AMOUNT OF CHILD SUPPORT THAT WILL BE PAID PURSUANT TO AN ADMINISTRATIVE CHILD SUPPORT ORDER, THE AMOUNT OF CHILD SUPPORT THAT WOULD BE PAYABLE UNDER A CHILD SUPPORT ORDER, AS CALCULATED PURSUANT TO THE BASIC CHILD SUPPORT SCHEDULE AND APPLICABLE WORKSHEET THROUGH THE LINE ESTABLISHING THE ACTUAL ANNUAL OBLIGATION, IS REBUTTABLY PRESUMED TO BE THE CORRECT AMOUNT OF CHILD SUPPORT DUE.

Sec. 3119.04. (A) IF THE COMBINED GROSS INCOME OF BOTH PARENTS IS LESS THAN SIX THOUSAND SIX HUNDRED DOLLARS PER YEAR, THE COURT OR AGENCY SHALL DETERMINE THE AMOUNT OF THE OBLIGOR'S CHILD SUPPORT OBLIGATION ON A CASE-BY-CASE BASIS USING THE SCHEDULE AS A GUIDELINE. THE COURT OR AGENCY SHALL REVIEW THE OBLIGOR'S GROSS INCOME AND LIVING EXPENSES TO DETERMINE THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF CHILD SUPPORT THAT IT REASONABLY CAN ORDER WITHOUT DENYING THE OBLIGOR THE MEANS FOR SELF-SUPPORT AT A MINIMUM SUBSISTENCE LEVEL AND SHALL ORDER A SPECIFIC AMOUNT OF CHILD SUPPORT, UNLESS THE OBLIGOR PROVES TO THE COURT OR AGENCY THAT THE OBLIGOR IS TOTALLY UNABLE TO PAY CHILD SUPPORT, AND THE COURT OR AGENCY DETERMINES THAT IT WOULD BE UNJUST OR INAPPROPRIATE TO ORDER THE PAYMENT OF CHILD SUPPORT AND ENTERS ITS DETERMINATION AND SUPPORTING FINDINGS OF FACT IN THE JOURNAL.

(B) IF THE COMBINED GROSS INCOME OF BOTH PARENTS IS GREATER THAN ONE HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS PER YEAR, THE COURT, WITH RESPECT TO A COURT CHILD SUPPORT ORDER, OR THE CHILD SUPPORT ENFORCEMENT AGENCY, WITH RESPECT TO AN ADMINISTRATIVE CHILD SUPPORT ORDER, SHALL DETERMINE THE AMOUNT OF THE OBLIGOR'S CHILD SUPPORT OBLIGATION ON A CASE-BY-CASE BASIS AND SHALL CONSIDER THE NEEDS AND THE STANDARD OF LIVING OF THE CHILDREN WHO ARE THE SUBJECT OF THE CHILD SUPPORT ORDER AND OF THE PARENTS. THE COURT OR AGENCY SHALL COMPUTE A BASIC COMBINED CHILD SUPPORT OBLIGATION THAT IS NO LESS THAN THE OBLIGATION THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN COMPUTED UNDER THE BASIC CHILD SUPPORT SCHEDULE AND APPLICABLE WORKSHEET FOR A COMBINED GROSS INCOME OF ONE HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS, UNLESS THE COURT OR AGENCY DETERMINES THAT IT WOULD BE UNJUST OR INAPPROPRIATE AND WOULD NOT BE IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE CHILD, OBLIGOR, OR OBLIGEE TO ORDER THAT AMOUNT. IF THE COURT OR AGENCY MAKES SUCH A DETERMINATION, IT SHALL ENTER IN THE JOURNAL THE FIGURE, DETERMINATION, AND FINDINGS.

Sec. 3119.05. WHEN A COURT COMPUTES THE AMOUNT OF CHILD SUPPORT REQUIRED TO BE PAID UNDER A COURT CHILD SUPPORT ORDER OR A CHILD SUPPORT ENFORCEMENT AGENCY COMPUTES THE AMOUNT OF CHILD SUPPORT TO BE PAID PURSUANT TO AN ADMINISTRATIVE CHILD SUPPORT ORDER, ALL OF THE FOLLOWING APPLY:

(A) THE PARENTS' CURRENT AND PAST INCOME AND PERSONAL EARNINGS SHALL BE VERIFIED BY ELECTRONIC MEANS OR WITH SUITABLE DOCUMENTS, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, PAYSTUBS, EMPLOYER STATEMENTS, RECEIPTS AND EXPENSE VOUCHERS RELATED TO SELF-GENERATED INCOME, TAX RETURNS, AND ALL SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION AND SCHEDULES FOR THE TAX RETURNS.

(B) THE AMOUNT OF ANY PRE-EXISTING CHILD SUPPORT OBLIGATION OF A PARENT UNDER A CHILD SUPPORT ORDER AND THE AMOUNT OF ANY COURT-ORDERED SPOUSAL SUPPORT ACTUALLY PAID SHALL BE DEDUCTED FROM THE GROSS INCOME OF THAT PARENT TO THE EXTENT THAT PAYMENT UNDER THE CHILD SUPPORT ORDER OR THAT PAYMENT OF THE COURT-ORDERED SPOUSAL SUPPORT IS VERIFIED BY SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION.

(C) IF OTHER MINOR CHILDREN WHO WERE BORN TO THE PARENT AND A PERSON OTHER THAN THE OTHER PARENT WHO IS INVOLVED IN THE IMMEDIATE CHILD SUPPORT DETERMINATION LIVE WITH THE PARENT, THE COURT OR AGENCY SHALL DEDUCT AN AMOUNT FROM THAT PARENT'S GROSS INCOME THAT EQUALS THE NUMBER OF SUCH MINOR CHILDREN TIMES THE FEDERAL INCOME TAX EXEMPTION FOR SUCH CHILDREN, NOT EXCEEDING THE FEDERAL INCOME TAX EXEMPTION.

(D) WHEN THE COURT OR AGENCY CALCULATES THE GROSS INCOME OF A PARENT, IT SHALL INCLUDE THE LESSER OF THE FOLLOWING AS INCOME FROM OVERTIME AND BONUSES:

(1) THE YEARLY AVERAGE OF ALL OVERTIME, COMMISSIONS, AND BONUSES RECEIVED DURING THE THREE YEARS IMMEDIATELY PRIOR TO THE TIME WHEN THE PERSON'S CHILD SUPPORT OBLIGATION IS BEING COMPUTED;

(2) THE TOTAL OVERTIME, COMMISSIONS, AND BONUSES RECEIVED DURING THE YEAR IMMEDIATELY PRIOR TO THE TIME WHEN THE PERSON'S CHILD SUPPORT OBLIGATION IS BEING COMPUTED.

(E) WHEN THE COURT OR AGENCY CALCULATES THE GROSS INCOME OF A PARENT, IT SHALL NOT INCLUDE ANY INCOME EARNED BY THE SPOUSE OF THAT PARENT.

(F) THE COURT SHALL NOT ORDER AN AMOUNT OF CHILD SUPPORT FOR REASONABLE AND ORDINARY UNINSURED MEDICAL OR DENTAL EXPENSES IN ADDITION TO THE AMOUNT OF THE CHILD SUPPORT OBLIGATION DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE SCHEDULE. THE COURT SHALL ISSUE A SEPARATE ORDER FOR EXTRAORDINARY MEDICAL OR DENTAL EXPENSES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ORTHODONTIA, PSYCHOLOGICAL, APPROPRIATE PRIVATE EDUCATION, AND OTHER EXPENSES, AND MAY CONSIDER THE EXPENSES IN ADJUSTING A CHILD SUPPORT ORDER.

(G) WHEN A COURT OR AGENCY CALCULATES THE AMOUNT OF CHILD SUPPORT TO BE PAID PURSUANT TO A COURT CHILD SUPPORT ORDER OR AN ADMINISTRATIVE CHILD SUPPORT ORDER, IF THE COMBINED GROSS INCOME OF BOTH PARENTS IS AN AMOUNT THAT IS BETWEEN TWO AMOUNTS SET FORTH IN THE FIRST COLUMN OF THE SCHEDULE, THE COURT OR AGENCY MAY USE THE BASIC CHILD SUPPORT OBLIGATION THAT CORRESPONDS TO THE HIGHER OF THE TWO AMOUNTS IN THE FIRST COLUMN OF THE SCHEDULE, USE THE BASIC CHILD SUPPORT OBLIGATION THAT CORRESPONDS TO THE LOWER OF THE TWO AMOUNTS IN THE FIRST COLUMN OF THE SCHEDULE, OR CALCULATE A BASIC CHILD SUPPORT OBLIGATION THAT IS BETWEEN THOSE TWO AMOUNTS AND CORRESPONDS PROPORTIONALLY TO THE PARENTS' ACTUAL COMBINED GROSS INCOME.

(H) WHEN THE COURT OR AGENCY CALCULATES GROSS INCOME, THE COURT OR AGENCY, WHEN APPROPRIATE, MAY AVERAGE INCOME OVER A REASONABLE PERIOD OF YEARS.

(I) A COURT OR AGENCY SHALL NOT DETERMINE A PARENT RECEIVING MEANS-TESTED PUBLIC ASSISTANCE BENEFITS TO BE VOLUNTARILY UNEMPLOYED OR UNDEREMPLOYED AND SHALL NOT IMPUTE INCOME TO THAT PARENT, UNLESS NOT MAKING SUCH DETERMINATION AND NOT IMPUTING INCOME WOULD BE UNJUST, INAPPROPRIATE, AND NOT IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE CHILD.

(J) WHEN A COURT OR AGENCY REQUIRES A PARENT TO PAY AN AMOUNT FOR THAT PARENT'S FAILURE TO SUPPORT A CHILD FOR A PERIOD OF TIME PRIOR TO THE DATE THE COURT MODIFIES OR ISSUES A COURT CHILD SUPPORT ORDER OR AN AGENCY MODIFIES OR ISSUES AN ADMINISTRATIVE CHILD SUPPORT ORDER FOR THE CURRENT SUPPORT OF THE CHILD, THE COURT OR AGENCY SHALL CALCULATE THAT AMOUNT USING THE BASIC CHILD SUPPORT SCHEDULE, WORKSHEETS, AND CHILD SUPPORT LAWS IN EFFECT, AND THE INCOMES OF THE PARENTS AS THEY EXISTED, FOR THAT PRIOR PERIOD OF TIME.

Sec. 3119.06. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN THIS SECTION, IN ANY ACTION IN WHICH A COURT ISSUES OR MODIFIES A CHILD SUPPORT ORDER OR IN ANY OTHER PROCEEDING IN WHICH A COURT DETERMINES THE AMOUNT OF CHILD SUPPORT TO BE PAID PURSUANT TO A CHILD SUPPORT ORDER, THE COURT SHALL ISSUE A MINIMUM SUPPORT ORDER REQUIRING THE OBLIGOR TO PAY A MINIMUM OF FIFTY DOLLARS A MONTH. THE COURT, IN ITS DISCRETION AND IN APPROPRIATE CIRCUMSTANCES, MAY ISSUE A MINIMUM SUPPORT ORDER REQUIRING THE OBLIGOR TO PAY LESS THAN FIFTY DOLLARS A MONTH OR NOT REQUIRING THE OBLIGOR TO PAY AN AMOUNT FOR SUPPORT. THE CIRCUMSTANCES UNDER WHICH A COURT MAY ISSUE SUCH AN ORDER INCLUDE THE NONRESIDENTIAL PARENT'S MEDICALLY VERIFIED OR DOCUMENTED PHYSICAL OR MENTAL DISABILITY OR INSTITUTIONALIZATION IN A FACILITY FOR PERSONS WITH A MENTAL ILLNESS OR ANY OTHER CIRCUMSTANCES CONSIDERED APPROPRIATE BY THE COURT.

IF A COURT ISSUES A MINIMUM SUPPORT ORDER PURSUANT TO THIS SECTION AND THE OBLIGOR UNDER THE SUPPORT ORDER IS THE RECIPIENT OF NEED-BASED PUBLIC ASSISTANCE, ANY UNPAID AMOUNTS OF SUPPORT DUE UNDER THE SUPPORT ORDER SHALL ACCRUE AS ARREARAGES FROM MONTH TO MONTH, AND THE OBLIGOR'S CURRENT OBLIGATION TO PAY THE SUPPORT DUE UNDER THE SUPPORT ORDER IS SUSPENDED DURING ANY PERIOD OF TIME THAT THE OBLIGOR IS RECEIVING NEED-BASED PUBLIC ASSISTANCE AND IS COMPLYING WITH ANY SEEK WORK ORDERS ISSUED PURSUANT TO SECTION 3121.03 OF THE REVISED CODE. THE COURT, OBLIGEE, AND CHILD SUPPORT ENFORCEMENT AGENCY SHALL NOT ENFORCE THE OBLIGATION OF THE OBLIGOR TO PAY THE AMOUNT OF SUPPORT DUE UNDER THE SUPPORT ORDER WHILE THE OBLIGOR IS RECEIVING NEED-BASED PUBLIC ASSISTANCE AND IS COMPLYING WITH ANY SEEK WORK ORDERS ISSUED PURSUANT TO SECTION 3121.03 OF THE REVISED CODE.

Sec. 3119.07. (A) EXCEPT WHEN THE PARENTS HAVE SPLIT PARENTAL RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES, A PARENT'S CHILD SUPPORT OBLIGATION FOR A CHILD FOR WHOM THE PARENT IS THE RESIDENTIAL PARENT AND LEGAL CUSTODIAN SHALL BE PRESUMED TO BE SPENT ON THAT CHILD AND SHALL NOT BECOME PART OF A CHILD SUPPORT ORDER, AND A PARENT'S CHILD SUPPORT OBLIGATION FOR A CHILD FOR WHOM THE PARENT IS NOT THE RESIDENTIAL PARENT AND LEGAL CUSTODIAN SHALL BECOME PART OF A CHILD SUPPORT ORDER.

(B) IF THE PARENTS HAVE SPLIT PARENTAL RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES, THE CHILD SUPPORT OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARENTS SHALL BE OFFSET, AND THE COURT SHALL ISSUE A CHILD SUPPORT ORDER REQUIRING THE PARENT WITH THE LARGER CHILD SUPPORT OBLIGATION TO PAY THE NET AMOUNT PURSUANT TO THE CHILD SUPPORT ORDER.

(C) IF NEITHER PARENT OF A CHILD WHO IS THE SUBJECT OF A CHILD SUPPORT ORDER IS THE RESIDENTIAL PARENT AND LEGAL CUSTODIAN OF THE CHILD AND THE CHILD RESIDES WITH A THIRD PARTY WHO IS THE LEGAL CUSTODIAN OF THE CHILD, THE COURT SHALL ISSUE A CHILD SUPPORT ORDER REQUIRING EACH PARENT TO PAY THAT PARENT'S CHILD SUPPORT OBLIGATION PURSUANT TO THE CHILD SUPPORT ORDER.

Sec. 3119.08. WHENEVER A COURT ISSUES A CHILD SUPPORT ORDER, IT SHALL INCLUDE IN THE ORDER SPECIFIC PROVISIONS FOR REGULAR, HOLIDAY, VACATION, PARENTING TIME, AND SPECIAL VISITATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 3109.051, 3109.11, OR 3109.12 of the Revised Code OR IN ACCORDANCE WITH ANY OTHER APPLICABLE SECTION of the Revised Code.

Sec. 3119.09. THE COURT SHALL NOT AUTHORIZE OR PERMIT THE ESCROWING, IMPOUNDMENT, OR WITHHOLDING OF ANY CHILD SUPPORT PAYMENT BECAUSE OF A DENIAL OF OR INTERFERENCE WITH A RIGHT OF PARENTING TIME OR VISITATION INCLUDED AS A SPECIFIC PROVISION OF THE CHILD SUPPORT ORDER OR AS A METHOD OF ENFORCING THE SPECIFIC PROVISIONS OF THE CHILD SUPPORT ORDER DEALING WITH PARENTING TIME OR VISITATION.

Sec. 3119.22. THE COURT MAY ORDER AN AMOUNT OF CHILD SUPPORT THAT DEVIATES FROM THE AMOUNT OF CHILD SUPPORT THAT WOULD OTHERWISE RESULT FROM THE USE OF THE BASIC CHILD SUPPORT SCHEDULE AND THE APPLICABLE WORKSHEET, THROUGH THE LINE ESTABLISHING THE ACTUAL ANNUAL OBLIGATION, IF, AFTER CONSIDERING THE FACTORS AND CRITERIA SET FORTH IN SECTION 3119.23 of the Revised Code, THE COURT DETERMINES THAT THE AMOUNT CALCULATED PURSUANT TO THE BASIC CHILD SUPPORT SCHEDULE AND THE APPLICABLE WORKSHEET, THROUGH THE LINE ESTABLISHING THE ACTUAL ANNUAL OBLIGATION, WOULD BE UNJUST OR INAPPROPRIATE AND WOULD NOT BE IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE CHILD.

IF IT DEVIATES, THE COURT MUST ENTER IN THE JOURNAL THE AMOUNT OF CHILD SUPPORT CALCULATED PURSUANT TO THE BASIC CHILD SUPPORT SCHEDULE AND THE APPLICABLE WORKSHEET, THROUGH THE LINE ESTABLISHING THE ACTUAL ANNUAL OBLIGATION, ITS DETERMINATION THAT THAT AMOUNT WOULD BE UNJUST OR INAPPROPRIATE AND WOULD NOT BE IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE CHILD, AND FINDINGS OF FACT SUPPORTING THAT DETERMINATION.

Sec. 3119.23. THE COURT MAY CONSIDER ANY OF THE FOLLOWING FACTORS IN DETERMINING WHETHER TO GRANT A DEVIATION PURSUANT TO SECTION 3119.22 of the Revised Code:

(A) SPECIAL AND UNUSUAL NEEDS OF THE CHILDREN;

(B) EXTRAORDINARY OBLIGATIONS FOR MINOR CHILDREN OR OBLIGATIONS FOR HANDICAPPED CHILDREN WHO ARE NOT STEPCHILDREN AND WHO ARE NOT OFFSPRING FROM THE MARRIAGE OR RELATIONSHIP THAT IS THE BASIS OF THE IMMEDIATE CHILD SUPPORT DETERMINATION;

(C) OTHER COURT-ORDERED PAYMENTS;

(D) EXTENDED PARENTING TIME OR EXTRAORDINARY COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH PARENTING TIME, PROVIDED THAT THIS DIVISION DOES NOT AUTHORIZE AND SHALL NOT BE CONSTRUED AS AUTHORIZING ANY DEVIATION FROM THE SCHEDULE AND THE APPLICABLE WORKSHEET, THROUGH THE LINE ESTABLISHING THE ACTUAL ANNUAL OBLIGATION, OR ANY ESCROWING, IMPOUNDMENT, OR WITHHOLDING OF CHILD SUPPORT BECAUSE OF A DENIAL OF OR INTERFERENCE WITH A RIGHT OF PARENTING TIME GRANTED BY COURT ORDER;

(E) THE OBLIGOR OBTAINS ADDITIONAL EMPLOYMENT AFTER A CHILD SUPPORT ORDER IS ISSUED IN ORDER TO SUPPORT A SECOND FAMILY;

(F) THE FINANCIAL RESOURCES AND THE EARNING ABILITY OF THE CHILD;

(G) DISPARITY IN INCOME BETWEEN PARTIES OR HOUSEHOLDS;

(H) BENEFITS THAT EITHER PARENT RECEIVES FROM REMARRIAGE OR SHARING LIVING EXPENSES WITH ANOTHER PERSON;

(I) THE AMOUNT OF FEDERAL, STATE, AND LOCAL TAXES ACTUALLY PAID OR ESTIMATED TO BE PAID BY A PARENT OR BOTH OF THE PARENTS;

(J) SIGNIFICANT IN-KIND CONTRIBUTIONS FROM A PARENT, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, DIRECT PAYMENT FOR LESSONS, SPORTS EQUIPMENT, SCHOOLING, OR CLOTHING;

(K) THE RELATIVE FINANCIAL RESOURCES, OTHER ASSETS AND RESOURCES, AND NEEDS OF EACH PARENT;

(L) THE STANDARD OF LIVING AND CIRCUMSTANCES OF EACH PARENT AND THE STANDARD OF LIVING THE CHILD WOULD HAVE ENJOYED HAD THE MARRIAGE CONTINUED OR HAD THE PARENTS BEEN MARRIED;

(M) THE PHYSICAL AND EMOTIONAL CONDITION AND NEEDS OF THE CHILD;

(N) THE NEED AND CAPACITY OF THE CHILD FOR AN EDUCATION AND THE EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN AVAILABLE TO THE CHILD HAD THE CIRCUMSTANCES REQUIRING A COURT ORDER FOR SUPPORT NOT ARISEN;

(P) ANY OTHER RELEVANT FACTOR.

THE COURT MAY ACCEPT AN AGREEMENT OF THE PARENTS THAT ASSIGNS A MONETARY VALUE TO ANY OF THE FACTORS AND CRITERIA LISTED IN THIS SECTION THAT ARE APPLICABLE TO THEIR SITUATION.

IF THE COURT GRANTS A DEVIATION BASED ON DIVISION (P) OF THIS SECTION, IT SHALL SPECIFICALLY STATE IN THE ORDER THE FACTS THAT ARE THE BASIS FOR THE DEVIATION.

Sec. 3119.24. (A)(1) A COURT THAT ISSUES A SHARED PARENTING ORDER IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 3109.04 of the Revised Code SHALL ORDER AN AMOUNT OF CHILD SUPPORT TO BE PAID UNDER THE CHILD SUPPORT ORDER THAT IS CALCULATED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE SCHEDULE AND WITH THE WORKSHEET SET FORTH IN SECTION 3119.022 of the Revised Code, THROUGH THE LINE ESTABLISHING THE ACTUAL ANNUAL OBLIGATION, EXCEPT THAT, IF THAT AMOUNT WOULD BE UNJUST OR INAPPROPRIATE TO THE CHILDREN OR EITHER PARENT AND WOULD NOT BE IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE CHILD BECAUSE OF THE EXTRAORDINARY CIRCUMSTANCES OF THE PARENTS OR BECAUSE OF ANY OTHER FACTORS OR CRITERIA SET FORTH IN SECTION 3119.23 of the Revised Code, THE COURT MAY DEVIATE FROM THAT AMOUNT.

(2) THE COURT SHALL CONSIDER EXTRAORDINARY CIRCUMSTANCES AND OTHER FACTORS OR CRITERIA IF IT DEVIATES FROM THE AMOUNT DESCRIBED IN DIVISION (A)(1) OF THIS SECTION AND SHALL ENTER IN THE JOURNAL THE AMOUNT DESCRIBED IN DIVISION (A)(1) OF THIS SECTION, ITS DETERMINATION THAT THE AMOUNT WOULD BE UNJUST OR INAPPROPRIATE AND WOULD NOT BE IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE CHILD, AND FINDINGS OF FACT SUPPORTING ITS DETERMINATION.

Sec. 3119.27. A COURT THAT ISSUES OR MODIFIES A COURT SUPPORT ORDER, OR AN ADMINISTRATIVE AGENCY THAT ISSUES OR MODIFIES AN ADMINISTRATIVE CHILD SUPPORT ORDER, SHALL IMPOSE ON THE OBLIGOR UNDER THE SUPPORT ORDER A PROCESSING CHARGE THAT IS THE GREATER OF TWO PER CENT OF THE SUPPORT PAYMENT TO BE COLLECTED UNDER A SUPPORT ORDER OR ONE DOLLAR PER MONTH. NO COURT OR AGENCY MAY CALL THE CHARGE A POUNDAGE FEE.

Sec. 3119.28. (A) AS USED IN THIS SECTION, "CURRENT SUPPORT PAYMENT" MEANS THE AMOUNT OF SUPPORT DUE AN OBLIGEE THAT AN OBLIGOR IS REQUIRED TO PAY IN A PARTICULAR PAYMENT FOR THE CURRENT MONTH AS SPECIFIED IN A SUPPORT ORDER. "CURRENT SUPPORT PAYMENT" DOES NOT INCLUDE PAYMENTS ON ARREARAGES UNDER THE SUPPORT ORDER.

(B) THE OBLIGOR SHALL PAY THE AMOUNT IMPOSED PURSUANT TO SECTION 3119.27 of the Revised Code WITH EVERY CURRENT SUPPORT PAYMENT, AND WITH EVERY PAYMENT ON ARREARAGES.

Sec. 3119.30. IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN WHICH A CHILD SUPPORT ORDER IS ISSUED OR MODIFIED, THE COURT, WITH RESPECT TO COURT CHILD SUPPORT ORDERS, AND THE CHILD SUPPORT ENFORCEMENT AGENCY, WITH RESPECT TO ADMINISTRATIVE CHILD SUPPORT ORDERS, SHALL DETERMINE THE PARENT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE HEALTH CARE OF THE CHILDREN SUBJECT TO THE CHILD SUPPORT ORDER AND SHALL INCLUDE IN THE ORDER ONE OF THE FOLLOWING:

THE RULES SHALL INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO, ALL OF THE FOLLOWING:

(A) ANY PROCEDURES NECESSARY TO COMPLY WITH SECTION 666(a)(10) OF TITLE 42 OF THE U.S. CODE, "FAMILY SUPPORT ACT OF 1988," 102 STAT. 2346, 42 U.S.C. 666(a)(10), AS AMENDED, AND ANY REGULATIONS ADOPTED PURSUANT TO, OR TO ENFORCE, THAT SECTION;

IF THAT AMOUNT AS RECALCULATED IS MORE THAN TEN PER CENT GREATER THAN OR MORE THAN TEN PER CENT LESS THAN THE AMOUNT OF CHILD SUPPORT REQUIRED TO BE PAID PURSUANT TO THE EXISTING CHILD SUPPORT ORDER, THE DEVIATION FROM THE RECALCULATED AMOUNT THAT WOULD BE REQUIRED TO BE PAID UNDER THE SCHEDULE AND THE APPLICABLE WORKSHEET SHALL BE CONSIDERED BY THE COURT AS A CHANGE OF CIRCUMSTANCE SUBSTANTIAL ENOUGH TO REQUIRE A MODIFICATION OF THE CHILD SUPPORT AMOUNT.

ADDITIONALLY, IF AN OBLIGOR OR OBLIGEE UNDER A CHILD SUPPORT ORDER REQUESTS THAT THE COURT MODIFY THE SUPPORT AMOUNT REQUIRED TO BE PAID PURSUANT TO THE CHILD SUPPORT ORDER AND IF THE COURT DETERMINES THAT THE AMOUNT OF SUPPORT DOES NOT ADEQUATELY MEET THE MEDICAL NEEDS OF THE CHILD, THE INADEQUATE COVERAGE SHALL BE CONSIDERED BY THE COURT AS A CHANGE OF CIRCUMSTANCE THAT IS SUBSTANTIAL ENOUGH TO REQUIRE A MODIFICATION OF THE AMOUNT OF THE CHILD SUPPORT ORDER.

(C) IF THE COURT DETERMINES THAT THE AMOUNT OF CHILD SUPPORT REQUIRED TO BE PAID UNDER THE CHILD SUPPORT ORDER SHOULD BE CHANGED DUE TO A SUBSTANTIAL CHANGE OF CIRCUMSTANCES THAT WAS NOT CONTEMPLATED AT THE TIME OF THE ISSUANCE OF THE ORIGINAL CHILD SUPPORT ORDER OR THE LAST MODIFICATION OF THE CHILD SUPPORT ORDER, THE COURT SHALL MODIFY THE AMOUNT OF CHILD SUPPORT REQUIRED TO BE PAID UNDER THE CHILD SUPPORT ORDER TO COMPLY WITH THE SCHEDULE AND THE APPLICABLE WORKSHEET THROUGH THE LINE ESTABLISHING THE ACTUAL ANNUAL OBLIGATION, UNLESS THE COURT DETERMINES THAT THE AMOUNT CALCULATED PURSUANT TO THE BASIC CHILD SUPPORT SCHEDULE AND PURSUANT TO THE APPLICABLE WORKSHEET WOULD BE UNJUST OR INAPPROPRIATE AND WOULD NOT BE IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE CHILD AND ENTERS IN THE JOURNAL THE FIGURE, DETERMINATION, AND FINDINGS SPECIFIED IN SECTION 3119.22 of the Revised Code.
