1. The income of the parties
2.The relative earning abilities of the parties
3.The ages and physical, mental and emotional condition of the parties
4. The retirement benefits of the parties

Child support

In any action in which a court child support order is issued or modified, the court or agency shall calculate the amount of the obligor's child support obligation in accordance with the basic child support schedule. The court or agency shall specify the support obligation as a monthly amount due and shall order the support obligation to be paid in periodic increments as it determines to be in the best interest of the children. The amount of child support that would be payable as calculated pursuant to the basic child support schedule is rebuttably presumed to be the correct amount of child support due. The court may order an amount of child support that deviates from the amount of child support that would otherwise result from the use of the basic child support schedule if the court determines that the amount calculated pursuant to the basic child support schedule would be unjust or inappropriate and would not be in the best interest of the child.

If it deviates, the court must enter in the journal the amount of child support calculated pursuant to the basic child support schedule, its determination that that amount would be unjust or inappropriate and would not be in the best interest of the child, and findings of fact supporting that determination.

Factors the court will consider in determining whether to grant a deviation from the child support guidelines include:

(A) Special and unusual needs of the children;
(B) Extraordinary obligations for minor children or obligations for handicapped children who are not stepchildren and who are not offspring from the marriage or relationship that is the basis of the immediate child support determination;
(C) Other court-ordered payments;
(D) Extended parenting time or extraordinary costs associated with parenting time, provided that this division does not authorize and shall not be construed as authorizing any deviation from the schedule and the applicable worksheet, through the line establishing the actual annual obligation, or any escrowing, impoundment, or withholding of child support because of a denial of or interference with a right of parenting time granted by court order;
(E) The obligor obtaining additional employment after a child support order is issued in order to support a second family;
(F) The financial resources and the earning ability of the child;
(G) Disparity in income between parties or households;
(H) Benefits that either parent receives from remarriage or sharing living expenses with another person;
(I) The amount of federal, state, and local taxes actually paid or estimated to be paid by a parent or both of the parents;
(J) Significant in-kind contributions from a parent, including, but not limited to, direct payment for lessons, sports equipment, schooling, or clothing;
(K) The relative financial resources, other assets and resources, and needs of each parent;
(L) The standard of living and circumstances of each parent and the standard of living the child would have enjoyed had the marriage continued or had the parents been married;
(M) The physical and emotional condition and needs of the child;
(N) The need and capacity of the child for an education and the educational opportunities that would have been available to the child had the circumstances requiring a court order for support not arisen;
(O) The responsibility of each parent for the support of others;
(P) Any other relevant factor. 3109.05

Conciliation/mediation

The court may, on its own motion or on motion of one of the parties, order the parties to undergo conciliation. If children are involved, the court may order the parties to take part in family counseling during the course of the proceedings or for any reasonable length of time. 3105.091

Name change

When a divorce is granted the court of common pleas shall, if the person so desires, restore any name that the person had before the marriage. 3105.16
