Oregon uses an income shares model that considers both parents' gross incomes and the parenting time each exercises.
Under ORS 107.108, a parent's child support obligation continues beyond age 18 until the child reaches age 21 when:
Answer: The child is attending school and is not self-supporting
ORS 107.108 extends the support obligation to age 21 when the child is attending school and is not self-supporting.
Which scenario would most likely constitute a 'substantial change in circumstances' warranting modification of a child custody order in Oregon?
Answer: A custodial parent's relocation that substantially disrupts the existing parenting plan
A custodial parent's relocation that materially impacts the established parenting plan typically qualifies as a substantial change warranting judicial review.
Under Oregon's child support guidelines, which of the following is generally NOT counted as income for purposes of calculating support?
Answer: Means-tested public assistance benefits received on behalf of the child
Oregon's child support rules exclude means-tested public assistance received for the child, such as TANF, from the income calculation to avoid double-counting support.
When an Oregon parent subject to a support order is more than 30 days in arrears, which enforcement tool is most commonly the first remedy employed?
Answer: Automatic income withholding order directed to the obligor's employer
Income withholding orders under ORS 25.501 are the primary enforcement mechanism and are issued automatically in most Oregon child support cases.
How does a non-custodial parent's substantial parenting time affect the child support calculation under Oregon's guidelines?
Answer: Greater parenting time by the obligor may reduce the support obligation through a parenting-time credit
Oregon's guidelines include a parenting-time credit that reduces the support obligation proportionally as the obligor exercises more time with the child.
Under ORS 107.135, when may an Oregon child support order be modified?
Answer: Upon a substantial change in the circumstances of either party or the child
ORS 107.135 allows modification upon a substantial change in circumstances; Oregon also provides a separate administrative three-year review process through the support enforcement agency.
