Legal Question in Family Law in Oregon

Re: Need to understand stipulated order sentence.

"Stipulated Order" for what? Is this part

of a separation agreement or just custody or

just child support? The portion which says

"...w/o having to prove change of curcumstances.."

does away with the only basis for

modifying a child support award in NC, that is

a change in circumstances (of either/both)

parents which affects the minor child.

That basis keeps the parents from going back

to court each time somebody gets a raise or

somebody's boy/girlfriend dumps them, or voluntarily

quits a good job to move to Taos to be

an artist.Child support enforcement generally will not

try to get back into court in less than

three years to test for changed circumstances.

Check with your attorney to see whether

deleting that clause is a deal breaker.

The law allows the minor to collect and

seek to modify support until age 18

or high school graduation which ever

is later and no contract between the parents can

abrogate the child's right to support so

it is not crucial to the child's best interests.

It may only be important to a vengeful ex.

Good luck.
