Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in Oregon

Satisfaction of Judgement

I have custody of my daughter as of the end of this school year. I have paid child support directly to her mother and have never missed a payment over the last 5+ years. I am aware that the county records show that the child support judgement is still in effect and would like to get this cleared. I have sent my ex-wife a satisfication of judgement affidavit to allow the county records to be updated. At this time she refuses to take this to a notary and sign it. Is she legally obligated to take care of this? What can I do to get this resolved? The reason she refuses is because she thinks she is doing me a big favor and since she doesn't like me (because she was doing drugs and got busted, which is way my daughter doesn't live with her) she is trying to make everything as difficult as she can. I know that I alone can't force her to cooperate, but who can force her to cooperate and sign the papers? Thanks

Re: Satisfaction of Judgement

You may return to the court which granted your divorce and through proper pleading get a Court Order recognizing that your child support obligation has been fully discharged, which you can then file to clear the record. Consult a domestic relations attorney in your town for further details.
