Legal Question in Family Law in Oregon
I live in Oregon and owe $6000 in back child support. My ex has agreed to write that off and to reduce my child support payments to a nominal amount. How do I go about setting that agreement up with the court?
1 Answer from Attorneys
First, your ex needs to sign an appropriate form of Satisfaction of Judgment. The Satisfaction form is then send to DCS for approval and forwarding to the court for entry into the court records.
Second, the parties need to sign a stipulated Motion for Modification of Judgment, supported by an Affidavit and accompanied by the Child Support Calculation form showing the basis for the revised amount of child support. The Motion, Affidavit, and Child Support Calculation worksheets then need to be submitted to the court along with a stipulated Supplement Judgment Modifying Prior Judgment.
And that should take care of it.
NOTE: You are well advised to employ the services of an experienced family law lawyer to get this done, and done right. Good luck trying to get this done on your own. (Akin to my getting the brakes on my care repaired or replaced. I could TRY to do it myself (having never done it before), or I could take the care to brake repair shop and pay an expert to get the job done, and done right.)
Call if you want to schedule an office conference. (Conf. fee is $150.)
