Solutions for the Most Challenging Child Support Problems in Oklahoma
Child support and modification attorneys here to stand with you and pursue justice.
Oklahoma Child Support Attorneys
We’re here to help you calculate how much you owe, or are owed. Child support in Oklahoma is determined by state guidelines that consider each parent’s income, the parenting schedule, and costs like insurance and childcare.
In Oklahoma, child support typically ends when a child turns 18, but payments can continue until graduation, or until age 19 if they’re still in high school. For families with multiple children, support must be recalculated as each child reaches these milestones. If you’re unsure when your obligation ends or how to adjust your order, our Oklahoma child support attorneys can help you understand your options and plan your next steps with clarity and confidence.
When life changes, your child support order may need to change too. Our Oklahoma child support attorneys help you understand your current obligation, evaluate whether a modification is appropriate, and move toward an arrangement that supports your children’s needs and reflects your family’s circumstances.

Retain an Attorney
Reach out to our team to schedule your free consultation with an attorney. This step is help make sure we're the right fit, and get the initial details of your child support needs so we can get you moving forward fast.
Initial Filing
You or your attorney file a motion asking the court to enforce an existing order (if payments aren’t being made) or modify it (if circumstances have changed).
Serve the Other Parent
Attend Hearing
Both sides present information—such as payment history (for enforcement) or updated financial details (for modification). The judge reviews everything.
New Order Issued
The judge enters a ruling, which may include payment plans, wage withholding, penalties (for enforcement), or an updated support amount (for modification).
Resolution
Many construction disputes are resolved through settlement discussions or mediation once discovery clarifies the issues. If settlement isn’t possible, the case proceeds to trial, where a judge or jury determines the outcome.
Our attorneys are skilled advocates who prepare thoroughly for every possibility, ensuring your case is ready for whatever path it takes.
