Legal Question in Family Law in Oregon
Child Support moving from CA to OR, CAS question
Child is 17.5 and moving from CA to
OR. Original divorce/support order is
in CA and terminates child support at
18.
What happens if CP files to move
support order from CA to OR? Can
child ask for CAS if support order is
not moved by 18th birthday? What
is CAS based on? Is it generally more
or less than child support?
CP is claiming she was laid off (but
we are suspicious she quit to join
boyfriend). How does OR compute
income for a laid off/voluntarily
unemployed CP with history of apx
$60k+/year income?
If cs is moved, and a CAS clause is
included, how can we try to phrase it
so we have more control over the
money used for college? Our original
plan was to pay college costs directly,
pay no more than half costs, require
son to have a part-time job, maintain
a 2.5+ average, give us access to
records, and the ability to stop
payments any time we wanted
(based on parental discretion and
judgement).
How can we ensure the CP is equally
required to pay for college? Why is
the NCP the only one that must pay?

Re: Child Support moving from CA to OR, CAS question
Duration of child support is controlled by the law of the issuing state. Calif law provides for support to age 18. A CA support order cannot be modified by an Oregon court to go beyond what CA law allows. So Oregon cannot modify the CA order so as ot provide for CAS support.
