About Child Support in Oklahoma Child support payments begin when a judge authorizes a court order to make the child support enforceable by the state. Oklahoma requires income assignment to collect child support, which causes a garnishment of one parent's wages to fulfill the child support obligation.

In Oklahoma, child support is calculated by taking each parent's gross monthly income and subtracting any allowed ?income adjustments?. These adjustments include, allowances for federal and state income taxes, health insurance, work related costs, other child support being paid or received, etc.
If the paying parent is severely delinquent in payments, he or she may face criminal contempt, which may be treated as a misdemeanor or a felony and carries with it harsher consequences of up to four years in jail and a $5000 dollar fine.
