Thank you. That was my understanding as well. And I believe my attorney (at the time of the last settlement) implied that we would go for that if he did not agree to the imputed wage of his last job....

Both kids are now between 18 and 21. I'm considering modifying the support order so that it is 'per child' rather than one lump sum (which is the way it's set up now.) The benefit to making the...

Darn - I did it again and posted a new thread regarding this topic. Here it is: https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/family-law/modifying-child-support-oregon-child-attending-school-675702.html

When I'm...

It's been a long time since I've posted here but the '7 years of unemployment' jumped out at me. I'm not sure where legally this is grounds for improper parenting. My ex also hasn't worked for over 7...

Thanks to you both for very good answers. We are insured with Geico and the agent was very thorough this morning answering my questions.

I do not have legal custody of my daughter so am not...

Yes, Scott... I must've hit the wrong button. My apologies!

This evening, I asked my daughter if she was going to have to pay for her own car insurance after she gets her license (she lives with her dad). She said she didn't know but said that her older...

Thanks, Scott - sorry it's been months since I posted this without a follow-up. I didn't see the replies.

In Oregon, child support to the custodial parent stops when the child turns 18. At 18, the...

If there's a review, then why wouldn't my ex also be ordered to pay support? After 18, one or both parents can be ordered to pay, but it seems that the "both" rarely occurs. *grumble*

I have two children for which I pay child support. The youngest will be turning 18 in the next year; and the oldest will turn 20. Jumping even further ahead beyond next year when my eldest turns 21,...

Yippee! The IRS representative agreed that our decree was a "substantially similar statement" so now I need to send that in to prove I was elibible to claim our son on my taxes for 2008. Going...

Between 2001 and 2008, he would never provide me with the form but he also didn't claim our son.

It occurred to me just this morning that a refund is of no benefit to him at all, since he was...

No - no modifications were made to that section. I was able to prevail in court last year for reimbursement of medical expenses on the same grounds. Stipulated agreement... and he reaffirmed. The...

Actually - he hasn't even had a job for the past 6.5 years. There's really not much benefit for him to claim both children on his taxes, other than spite. Just claiming one child wipes away any tax...

Thanks again. I mean no offense when I say that I'm sure you can understand why I hope you're wrong :)

Thanks, Joy. I'm not sure I understand. When I do the test for residency, I am directed to the exception for separated/divorced parents. My tax software also indicates that as the non-custodial...

My ex husband and I signed our original divorce decree in 2001. We agreed that he would claim our daughter and I would claim our son on our yearly taxes.

In 2009, we entered a stipulated agreement...

Thank you. I've been to the site, etc. I can't get specific info. On their application. It's unclear to me why they would qualify if I'm already providing coverage and it costs their dad (custodial...

The loan will never be paid back because it was discharged in Chapter 7 bankruptcy. To my knowledge, father still holds title. Ex has no assets and is not even the Lessee (grandpa is) so he's off the...

Dad - that's how I read it also but when I phoned the State, I was told that it is possible to have two coverages. Scratching my head on that, given that the children are guaranteed coverage for 12...

I'm not clear on the guidelines for eligibility for Oregon children (under age 19); specifically if they currently have group health coverage through one parent already and there has been no lapse in...

Cash is coming from parents in the form of paying (and signing for) the monthly lease. The car title was transferred during bankruptcy proceedings in the form of a loan. It's likely car insurance is...

[COLOR PURPLE]In relation to computing child support, are cash gifts imputed as Gross or Net income?

Example: If a parent is receiving $1,000/mo. Cash, is it imputed as $12,000/yr. or more, since...

Thanks Scott. The 4th possibility (which is what happened) is that ex brought DD into the bank to open another account and her profile information attached to this account, even though it shouldn't...

Chuck - the bank is adamant that they would not allow him or my daughter to make the changes. They won't allow address changes over the phone so the customer must either come into the bank to make...

I received a letter in the mail that the address to my DD's UTTMA custodial account that I opened for her had been changed. The "old" address was mine and the "new" address was my ex's.

I've...

Thank you.

It wasn't me who 'wanted' to file the motion (thank you for the grammar lesson, btw). Ex requested that I withdraw the Order for Production after I received the judgment p/o. As you...

Thanks, Dad. I just returned from a consult with my attorney. She told me that once the judgment satisfaction is filed, it kind of kills the Order... but she couldn't say that with certainty....

There's nothing wrong with the Order. They just don't want to produce documents. They didn't want to pay the judgment either, but I think all things considered... it was the safest option.

So do I...

Oregon also has child support guidelines that factor in parenting time. However, the non-custodial parent must have at least 25% overnights in order to receive a "credit" off the assigned support.
...

I recently Motioned for and obtained an Order to Compel Production. Documents were due within 10 days of Order. Judgment Debtor has now paid substantially all of the judgment debt (although it does...

@Chuck - he's the custodial parent - I'm ordered to pay him

DownUnder - thank you. That's what I would think - that the Creditors Meeting would require full disclosure.

I have a copy of the audio file of my ex's BK (needed to compare questions for my own...

@dad... okay. I thought maybe I wasn't clear in my first post.

He's been unemployed for almost 2 years. Prior to that, he worked for 4 months (which is the job/income level he was impuned). Before...

@dad - I'm the one who's paying :( There's not much I can do if he petitions for review - I'm just wondering if HIS situation is enough to warrant a review.

The CP of my children agreed to an imputed income when we settled on CS. CP was unemployed at the time settlement was reached and still is. However, unemployment will be running out soon.

CP has...

@dad - actually... ex's UE will run out sooner than November. More like the end of August.

Me thinks he's planning on petitioning for more CS. However... he'll have to produce documents in order...

Is it possible for someone to delay filing taxes for over a year so that it's excluded from consideration in their bankruptcy pleadings?

There've been a number of other things that I felt were...

Update: Dad won't get evicted because HIS father signed the lease and is paying the rent. Ex is literally off the radar, with his father's help. No title to car, no bank deposits other than Child...

Ok - that makes sense. I think I got a little ahead of myself there :) The "evidence" I have would really be more effective AFTER the fact; particularly because he probably thinks no one knows about...

Let's just say that I'm aware of some backup planning that ex has been doing secretly in the background. A plan that doesn't appear to include children. Can I turn this kind of "evidence" in with my...

I won't ask a question in PM. Can I give you the details in private and make something more generic here?

By the way - I have some kind of creepy info I discovered that I don't want to divulge on a public forum. May I message one of you? (dad or Judy) I can send you the info, then post the question here...

Agreed - and by November, we'll be coming up close to 2 years. Thanks dad! :)

16 months

Thanks Judy and - yes you do know a lot of my history :)

I am watching like a hawk for any change. I think the kids are held emotional hostage (like I was in the marriage). The fear that Dad might...

Chuck - it seems like the court will order the parent who CAN pay to pay more support. In our situation, ex was unemployed when we stipulated so his financial situation hasn't changed (yet) and he...

Thanks Judy. I did arrange for DD to get treatment through my health insurance.

There are also some alienation issues going on. I see the kids about 2/3 of the scheduled time (3 hrs on Sunday)...

My children's custodial parent is currently surviving on unemployment and child support. Unemployment runs out in November. CP's parents would probably help for a while, but they do not have an...

Thanks everyone. I received a reply from my attorney who told me that ex could still be served even if he "disappeared" and that child support would be suspended.

I will get my ducks in a row and...
