Child Support:

Child Support is set according to a mathematical formula established by statute and set out in the Oregon Administrative Rules. These rules change about every two years however the variables have remained fairly constant. Factors that are considered in establishing the presumed level of child support are the number of joint children (i.e. children you had with your spouse), the number of non-joint children (i.e. children you have with a new spouse as opposed to step children), the level of spousal support being paid or received, the gross monthly income of each party (i.e. before withholdings for tax or retirement), the Social Security and Veteran's benefits received for the benefit of the children, the number of overnight visits each child spends with each parent, the cost of providing health insurance for the benefit of joint children (whether by you, your ex-spouse or your present spouse), the recurring medical expenses for joint children (i.e. an insulin dependent child) and cost of providing child care for the benefit of joint children (i.e. not private school tuition). Although this seems complicated, the Division of Child Support has created a website where the presumed support amount can be calculated by inserting numbers in boxes.
