Portland, Oregon, Child Support Attorney
While the development of state child support guidelines has eliminated much of the confusion, it is still important to consult a knowledgeable attorney to ensure that child support orders are equitable and in the best interests of the children. At our Portland law office, we make sure that all appropriate factors are considered in the calculation of the amount of child support payments. The law provides for parenting time credits against child support payments, so we make sure that custody and parenting time arrangements that involve added overnights are factored in. For information about child support in Oregon, contact our child support lawyer, Suzanne J. Noland.
What Is Included in Child Support Calculations?
Child support in Oregon assumes that parents pay equally for their children. Accordingly, the incomes of both parents are included in child support calculations. Also included are the costs of medical insurance, the number of children (including those from other marriages or relationships), childcare costs, and extraordinary expenses such as caring for a disabled child. Our attorney makes sure that any child support order is based upon an accurate accounting.
