Child Support in Oregon
Oregon has well established child support guidelines that set the amount paid by the non-custodial parent for the general support of a child after a divorce. Even with these guidelines in place one or both parties often try to increase or reduce child support obligations. A divorce lawyer can help you ensure a fair result.
It is possible to seek changes to the result dictated by the statutory formula in a divorce proceeding and having a divorce attorney can help you in this process.
Child Support Modification
When seeking a child support modification from the established formula the court will consider and make written findings on more than a dozen different factors. Our divorce attorneys can help you navigate this process while always keeping the best interest of the child in mind.
Shared Custody and Child Support
If a child stays with one parent overnight more than 25 percent of the time, Oregon considers that parent to have shared custody of the child and applies a different calculation to determine the child support due. In actual terms of numbers of overnights, parents seeking to reduce their child support obligation must exercise at least 92 overnight stays in one year to receive a credit against his or her child support obligation. A divorce lawyer can help you balance your child custody and child support obligations and needs.
