    Default Underpaying Child Support

    My question involves child support in the State of: Ohio

    If an obligor is ordered to pay around $200 in child support a month, and has the occupation of a server/bartender, is it legal for them to be sending $3 a month to the obligee? It is understood that due to the fact that the obligor is receiving tips as his/her payment, that he/she has no proof of this income and thus it cannot be factored, but due to the fact that the obligor is receiving credit card tips that DO appear on his/her paycheck, will this someday catch up to the obligor and get the obligor in legal trouble?

    - - - Updated - - -

    Please correct me if I used the terms obligor/obligee incorrectly.

    Technically, it's legal until a court says otherwise. Having said that, hopefully the NCP doesn't think that sending a token amount is going to leave him/her in the clear - because it doesn't.

    The CP can file a contempt motion and the NCP is going to need a really good reason for not paying as ordered.
