Q: Can my transitional alimony be taken away if I move in with someone? Oregon
A:
There are three kinds of spousal support in Oregon:
Transitional
Compensatory, and
Maintenance.
Transitional support helps pay for education or training so that a divorced spouse can find work, change careers, or advance in the job market. Transitional spousal support is usually of a short duration. When a judge decides if a spouse should pay transitional support, the judge considers:
The length of the marriage;
Each spouse’s financial needs and resources;
Each spouse’s job training, work experience, and employment skills;
Child-raising responsibilities;
Child support payments, and
Other relevant factors.
If there is a substantial and unanticipated change in either party's financial circumstances and the purposes of the award of spousal support have been achieved, spousal support may be modified.
You should consult with an attorney in your area to determine the reasons for your transitional spousal support award and to determine whether the support may be modified if you begin living with someone.
