Oregon Child Support
Oregon child support is based upon official scales and formulas. In calculating Oregon child support, the Court will consider:
-
the needs of the child;
-
the parent's ability to pay child support;
-
the standard of living the child would have enjoyed if the marriage had not been dissolved;
-
the physical and emotional conditions and educational needs of the child;
-
the relative financial means of the parents, including their income, resources, and property;
-
the potential earnings of the parents;
-
the needs of any other dependents of a parent;
-
the desirability of the parent having either sole custody or physical care of the child remaining in the home as a full-time parent;
-
the tax consequences to each parent; and
-
any other relevant factors.
