Paying and Receiving Child Support in Oregon: What You Need to Know | Top Oregonfamily law and divorce Lawyers

  Paying and Receiving Child Support in Oregon: What You Need to Know

The Oregon Child Support Calculator is a tool that uses a set of guidelines to determine the "presumptively correct" amount of child support a parent is to pay or receive. The calculator considers factors such as the gross income of both parents, the number of children involved, and the amount of parenting time each parent has. Although the amount given by the calculator is considered presumptively correct, the Court has the authority to adjust the final amount based on other factors. In Oregon, child support is mainly paid through payroll deduction, but other payment methods are available.
