Calculating Child Support in Oregon
In Oregon, child support is largely determined by a calculation based on the child support guidelines established by the state. Though this number is achieved with a formula, it is wise to retain a skilled lawyer to ensure that the calculated amount is fair and reasonable.
Several factors must be examined, including:
- Income
- Educational costs
- Health care premiums
- Extracurricular activities
At GFBL, we help parents in Gresham and beyond negotiate fair and reasonable child support orders. Our firm can fight for you whether you are seeking support or being asked to pay it.
Adjusting Child Support to Ensure a Fair Order
Child support guidelines are reviewed and changed every few years. As such, if your child support award is from a judgment entered years ago, the amount of child support may need to be reviewed. Our Gresham child support attorneys can help you modify your award. Our Gresham child support lawyers can also help you enforce your child support order if the other parent of your child is not making payments in full or on time, as well aschild custody cases.
If you have concerns regarding child support and custody, we encourage you to contact us at (503) 470-2230.
