Legal Question in Family Law in Oregon
Mom owing support remarried and quit job
During my divorce in Washington state the court did not want my ex to be financially responsible for the children and under temporary orders she had a support obligation of $10 per child. When final orders were issues that set her obligation at 10% of the state standard and 28% on everything else.
A couple years ago she remarried and moved to Oregon where I have lived for many years with my children. I am trying to determine if it would be prudent to file for a modification of the support. Her household income is now much higher than it was, but she quit her job when she got married so has no personal income.
At minimum it would be nice if the obligation against support was set to the 28% and not the token 18%.

Re: Mom owing support remarried and quit job
The procedure is simple (at least for attorneys who know what they are doing).
First, your Washington support order needs to be registered in the appropriate Oregon court pursuant to the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act (UIFSA).
Second, a motion is then filed in the Oregon court seeking to have the Oregon court modify the Washington support order. The modification would then be calculated pursuant to the Oregon Child Support Guidelines.
