AI Summary

  • Amends Oklahoma Statute 43 O.S. 2011, Section 118E to clarify parenting time adjustments for child support calculations.

  • Parenting time adjustment requires noncustodial parent to have at least 121 overnights per 12-month period; for multiple children, an annual average of parenting time is calculated.

  • Establishes tiered reduction formula based on overnights: factor of 2 for 121-131 overnights, 1.75 for 132-143 overnights, and 1.5 for 144+ overnights applied to base combined child support obligation.

  • Prohibits parents with more than 205 overnights from paying child support and caps child support amounts at no more than what would be owed without the parenting time adjustment.

  • Failure to exercise ordered overnights constitutes material change of circumstances; court may establish underpaid child support as judgment or deny adjustment for next 12-month period; effective November 1, 2015.
