It costs more to raise a child now than it did two decades ago, and some state officials say child support payments need to increase.
If passed, a bill in the Ohio General Assembly would increase current child support payments in many cases. It also would establish a base income before noncustodial parents have to start paying support and add provisions for shared custody arrangements, possibly lowering payments for some parents.
The legislation, sponsored by state Sen. Shirley Smith, D-Cleveland, is based on guidelines drafted by an advisory council, led by Jobs and Family Services officials.
