If the child support provided in the agreement deviates from the child support guidelines, the proposed judgment entry shall contain findings of fact sufficient to substantiate the deviation. General recitals that the deviation is fair or equitable, or words of similar import shall not be sufficient to substantiate the deviation. This Court has promulgated forms to meet the other requirements of Section 3121.03. Complainants and/or movants for child support orders shall submit completed withholding notices as required by Section 3121.03 prior to adjournment of a hearing wherein an order for support is entered.
