Ohio Child Support Worksheet: JFS 07767 vs. 07768

JFS 07767 is Ohio’s basic child support schedule, not the worksheet you fill out. JFS 07768 is the sole/shared computation worksheet. JFS 07769 covers split parenting, and JFS 07766 is the instruction manual. If you searched for a “JFS 07767 PDF,” the table may be exactly what you need, but it will not tell you the final payment by itself.

Here is how to find the right document, check its revision, and prepare the information that connects the schedule to a support calculation. If you want an estimate first, use the Ohio child support calculator, then compare the inputs with the official worksheet.

Which Ohio child support form do you need?

Ohio form roles and revisions identified in the official April 2026 rules and manual package.

Document	What it does	Revision in that package
JFS 07767	Basic support table: income rows and child-count columns	6/2023
JFS 07768	Sole/shared child support computation worksheet	3/2019
JFS 07769	Split-parenting computation worksheet	3/2019
JFS 07766	Instructions and supporting tables	4/2026

The different dates are not a typo. A manual can change while the underlying schedule keeps its earlier revision. Do not assume that a PDF marked 2023 is obsolete, or that a page labeled “2026 calculator” contains a newly issued 2026 basic support table.

Ohio’s rule identifies the schedule, the two worksheets, and the manual as separate parts of the process. The current rule took effect April 1, 2026. The accompanying package identifies the document revisions above.

Official PDF links and a fallback if one will not open

• JFS 07767 basic support schedule, official forms-library link. This is the table, not a blank sole/shared worksheet.
• Official April 2026 rules and guideline-manual package. Search inside for “JFS 07766,” “07768,” or “07769” to locate the instructions and form references.
• Authenticated Ohio rule PDF. This establishes which documents the calculation uses.

The older forms-library address may refuse automated requests or fail to load in some browsers. If that happens, use the official package for guidance and ask your county child support enforcement agency or court for the current blank worksheet it accepts. SupportDecode does not host a replacement official form or submit a worksheet for you.

Before printing, check the document number and revision in the file itself. A search-result date, a download date, and a form’s revision date are three different things. Keep the source link alongside your saved copy so you can check it again later.

Why the schedule amount is not your monthly payment

The schedule provides a basic amount that feeds the worksheet. The completed calculation also depends on the parents’ incomes, the relevant adjustments, and expenses or credits entered in later steps. Reading one cell and treating it as one parent’s payment skips that work.

Start by labeling every number with its time period. Ohio’s basic schedule uses annual income. A paystub might show weekly pay, a monthly total, and year-to-date earnings on the same page. Mixing those periods can create a much larger error than a rounding difference.

For a simple income-conversion illustration, suppose a parent earns $1,000 gross every week for 52 weeks, with no other earnings. That is $52,000 a year, or $4,333.33 per average month. It is not $4,000 per month. This example only converts pay periods; it is not an Ohio support award or a decision about which income adjustments apply.

If a second parent has a separate income figure, record that separately. Do not paste a combined figure into both parents’ fields. Use the worksheet instructions to determine the adjusted income that belongs in the schedule lookup.

What to gather before you start

Make a small folder with these items. This is a preparation checklist, not a court filing requirement:

• Recent paystubs and records that explain year-to-date earnings, overtime, or income that varies.
• The current support order, if one exists, and the number of children covered by this calculation.
• Childcare amounts, who pays them, and records of reimbursements or subsidies.
• Health-insurance information that separates the cost attributable to the children from a whole-family premium.
• The parenting-time order or calendar and any relevant benefit or other-support information requested by the worksheet.

For each expense, write down amount, frequency, payer, and evidence. “Insurance: $240” is ambiguous. “Children’s attributable premium: $240 per month, paid by Parent A, shown on benefit statement” is much easier to check. Whether that amount receives a credit still depends on the worksheet’s rules.

Sole/shared is not the same as split parenting

The worksheet names describe different arrangements. “Shared” does not mean you should select the split-parenting worksheet merely because both parents have time with a child. Ohio provides a separate split-parenting form. Check the manual’s definitions and your case arrangement before selecting one.

If you are unsure, ask the court, the county agency, or an Ohio family-law professional which worksheet applies. A calculator cannot resolve a disputed living arrangement or choose a form on the strength of the phrase “50/50” alone.

Compare the inputs before comparing results

When an online estimate differs from a worksheet, compare the source version, annual versus monthly inputs, child count, expense payer, and adjustments first. Keep the worksheet’s intermediate figures, not just its last line. Those figures show where two calculations begin to diverge.

Our Ohio estimator exposes its sources and limitations. Its automated tests are not proof that every scenario has matched Ohio’s official calculator. The verification table distinguishes official comparisons from source-derived tests. The court or agency’s calculation and your order control your actual obligation.
