Our lawyers are trusted throughout Oregon to assist you with child support issues in any jurisdiction.

Oregon Child Support Guidelines

Oregon has specific guidelines for calculating child support. Most factors that are considered when calculating child support include:

• Each parent’s gross monthly income (before taxes)
• Each parent’s mandatory union dues
• Child-care costs
• Non-joint children of either parent
• The number of overnights each parent receives
• Each parent’s Social Security or veteran’s benefits
• Out-of-pocket health insurance costs for the child and for the parent providing insurance
