Official statutory text

A. The district or administrative court shall determine the

actual annualized child care expenses reasonably necessary to enable

either or both parents to:

1. Be employed;

2. Seek employment; or

3. Attend school or training to enhance employment income.

B. When a parent is participating in the Department of Human

Services child care subsidy program as provided under Section 230.50

of Title 56 of the Oklahoma Statutes, the Child Care

Eligibility/Rates Schedule established by the Department shall be

used. The actual child care costs incurred shall be the family

share copayment amount indicated on the schedule which shall be

allocated and paid monthly in the same proportion as base child

support. The Department of Human Services shall promulgate rules,

as necessary, to implement the provisions of this section.

C. The actual annualized child care costs incurred for the

purposes authorized by this section shall be allocated and added to

the base child support order and shall be part of the final child

support order.

D. The district or administrative court shall require the

parent incurring child care expenses to notify the obligor within

forty-five (45) days of any change in the amount of the child care

costs that would affect the annualized child care amount as

determined in the order.

E. A parent may be allowed to provide child care incurred

during employment, employment search or while the other parent is

attending school or training if the court determines it would lead

to a significant reduction in the actual annualized child care cost.
