The average child support amount received in Oklahoma is $5,111 annually.
While actual child support payments in Oklahoma are determined by specific state guidelines that consider various factors, available data provides a statewide average. This figure represents the general average child support amount received annually within the state.
Understanding Oklahoma Child Support Averages
According to recent data on child support payments by state, Oklahoma's average child support amount received is significant. This average amount also constitutes a notable percentage of personal income for recipients.
Here's a snapshot of Oklahoma's average child support data:
| State | Avg. Amount Received | % of Personal Income From Child Support |
|---|---|---|
| Oklahoma | $5,111 | 13.6% |
It is important to understand that this average reflects overall payments received across the state and is not an exact figure for every specific case or solely for one child. Child support calculations are complex and typically factor in:
- Parental Income: The gross income of both parents is a primary determinant.
- Number of Children: Support amounts generally increase with more children.
- Childcare Costs: Expenses for daycare or after-school care can be added.
- Health Insurance Premiums: Costs for the child's health insurance are often included.
- Overnights/Custody Schedule: The amount of time each parent spends with the child can influence the final order, especially in shared custody arrangements.
In Oklahoma, child support is calculated using specific guidelines designed to ensure children receive consistent financial support from both parents, proportional to their incomes.
