Q:    How is child support determined?

A:    Child support in Oregon is determined by a specific formula mandated by the state.  Exceptions to these child support guidelines sometimes apply. 

Q:    Can I modify my child or spousal support?

A:    In Oregon, a party may move to modify certain aspects of their divorce judgment including both spousal and child support.  A party must generally prove that circumstances have significantly changed since the last support judgment.  This can include a reduction in the parties income as well as changes in the final needs of the parties and child(ren).
