Child Support and Visitation in Oregon
In Oregon, the court follows the Oregon Revised Statutes 25.270 to 25.287 as a basic layout of the rules for determining the amount of child support that is to be paid. In Oregon, if the non-custodial spouse violates the visitation order, you may file an order to hold him or her in contempt of the court. check to learn more.
In Oregon, the conduct, marital status, income, social environment, or life style of either parent is only considered in determining custody if it is shown that any of these factors are causing or may cause emotional or physical damage to the child. If a child age 14 or older expresses a preference regarding which parent he or she wishes to live with, a court will try to honor the request as long as the parent is found to be fit. check to learn more.
