Either parent or guardian can ask for a change in the order. Child Support orders can be reviewed 36 months from the date the order was established or the date of the last review. Some orders may be reviewed sooner than the required time frame if certain circumstances are met.

"Review" means that a caseworker looks at both parties' income information to see if child support should be changed or if health insurance should be added or changed.

"Adjustment" means an upward or downward change in the amount of child support based on the Ohio guidelines. It also means adding or changing provisions for the child(ren)'s health care needs through health insurance.
