Bill > SB1453

This bill amends Oklahoma law regarding child support computations, specifically changing how child support is handled in cases of joint custody. The key provision is that in situations where parents have joint physical custody and equally shared parenting time, neither parent will be awarded child support payments from the other. The bill also modifies which expenses are eligible for child support calculations, including transportation costs between homes and other expenses like childcare and school-related costs, which will now be divided proportionally based on each parent's income, provided it doesn't hinder the custodial parent's ability to meet the child's basic needs. Additionally, the bill updates statutory references and language within the relevant section of Oklahoma Statutes (O.S.) and sets an effective date of November 1, 2026.
