The Employer's Resource Guide to Child Support

The Employer's Resource Guide to Child Support was developed to help employers manage Ohio child, spousal and medical support orders. Regardless of the size of the organization or the number of individuals employed, this guide will help ensure that employee child support orders are processed accurately and timely.

Child, spousal and medical support orders are established through either a judicial or administrative process in Ohio. After an order is established, a local court or a county child support enforcement agency (CSEA) will issue an income-withholding order to the employer of the individual responsible for paying monthly support. In addition, employers and health plan administrators may receive medical support order instructions. These could include directives to enroll the employee’s child(ren) in an available health plan or to withhold an additional amount for payment of medical obligations.
