Child support and spousal support are two different things in Oklahoma. Child support is based on a calculation using the parties’ incomes to support the children, while spousal support is to help a spouse become self-supportive after a divorce. It’s important to understand the differences and ask your attorney for clarification. As a father’s rights attorney in Tulsa, I often see confusion about these terms. Rest assured, I’m here to help navigate through the legal maze and ensure your rights are protected. Feel free to reach out with any questions, and stay tuned for more helpful videos on this topic.

Are you struggling with past-due child support and wondering about child support interest? As a father’s rights attorney in Tulsa, Oklahoma, I can tell you that interest does accrue at 2% per year on past-due child support judgments by statute. This can quickly add up, and failing to pay can lead to contempt actions that could result in fines or even jail time. It’s important to seek legal help and file motions with the court if you are unable to pay the child support. Don’t hesitate to give us a call if you have any questions or need assistance. Your child’s financial well-being is important, and we’re here to help.
