Stat. tit. 43, § 43-118D","heading":"Computation of child support as percentage of parents'","body":"combined gross income - Prospective adjustment - Transportation\n\nexpenses - Support order summary form.\n\nA. All child support shall be computed as a percentage of the\n\ncombined gross income of both parents. The Child Support Guideline\n\nSchedule as provided in Section 119 of Title 43 of the Oklahoma\n\nStatutes shall be used for such computation. The child support\n\nobligation of each parent shall be computed. The share of the\n\nobligor shall be paid monthly to the obligee and shall be due on a\n\nspecific date.\n\nB. In cases in which one parent has sole physical custody, the\n\nadjusted monthly gross income of both parents shall be added\n\ntogether and the Child Support Guideline Schedule consulted for the\n\ntotal combined base monthly obligation for child support.\n\nC. After the total combined child support is determined, the\n\npercentage share of each parent shall be allocated by computing the\n\npercentage contribution of each parent to the combined adjusted\n\ngross income and allocating that same percentage to the child\n\nsupport obligation to determine the base child support obligation of\n\neach parent.\n\nD. 1. In cases of split physical custody, where each parent is\n\nawarded physical custody of at least one of the children for whom\n\nthe parents are responsible, the child support obligation for each\n\nparent shall be calculated by application of the child support\n\nguidelines for each custodial arrangement.\n\n2. The parent with the larger child support obligation shall\n\npay the difference between the two amounts to the parent with the\n\nsmaller child support obligation.\n\nE. Child support shall be computed as set forth in subsections\n\nA through D of this section in every case, regardless of whether the\n\ncustodial arrangement is designated as sole custody or joint\n\ncustody.\n\nF. The court, to the extent reasonably possible, shall make\n\nprovision in an order for prospective adjustment of support to\n\naddress any foreseen changes including, but not limited to, changes\n\nin medical insurance, child care expenses, medical expenses,\n\nextraordinary costs, and the satisfaction of jointly acquired debt\n\nof the parents used as a deduction from the gross income of a\n\nparent.\n\nG. Transportation expenses of a child between the homes of the\n\nparents may be divided between the parents in proportion to their\n\nadjusted gross income, so long as the payment of such expenses does\n\nnot significantly reduce the ability of the custodial parent to\n\nprovide for the basic needs of the child.\n\nH. The social security numbers of both parents and the children\n\nwho are the subject of a paternity or child support order shall be\n\nincluded in the support order summary form provided for in Section\n\n120 of Title 43 of the Oklahoma Statutes.\n\nI. A completed support order summary form shall be presented to\n\nthe judge with all paternity and child support orders where the\n\nDepartment of Human Services is not a necessary party pursuant to\n\nSection 112 of Title 43 of the Oklahoma Statutes. No such order\n\nshall be signed by the judge without presentation of the form.","path":["OK Code","Title 43"],"source_url":"https://www.oklegislature.gov/OK_Statutes/CompleteTitles/os43.pdf","current_through":"2026-08-14","vintage":"open-us-law v2026.08, retrieved 2026-09-14","retrieved_at":"2026-09-14T18:32:36Z","sha256":"c422775bd317d3e768f0d59b08fa38d982eb3b1183cf6689d55375e5c550476b","source_id":"us-ok","stale":false,"prev":"us-ok/okla.-stat.-tit.-43-43-118c","next":"us-ok/okla.-stat.-tit.-43-43-118e"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
