Q: State of Oregon child support Laws
How do you Drop child support when, the primary caregiver has given the kids to other families to raise and we are still paying child support to the primary care giver and its all going to drugs, We don't have a ton of money to get a lawyer and fight the order, how do we get this dropped, been all over the Oregon state website and can't find anything?
A: The solution is not to get out of paying child support it is to make a motion to modify the child support so that you can make the payments directly to the person that is actually taking care of the child or children. Regardless of what the primary parent is doing there is still a duty to support the children. And that would apply even if the children were in the custody of the state or in foster care.
