How does ORS determine the amount of support when parents are divorced versus parents that are married?
Parents who are divorced, separated, or were never married have separate child support obligations and separate cases with ORS/CIC. In accordance with Utah Code Annotated 78-45-4.4, if there is an existing child support order for the child in care, ORS/CIC may charge the amount stated in the existing order. For example, if a parent is currently ordered in a divorce decree to pay $200 a month for the child in care, ORS/CIC will charge a monthly support amount of $200 while the child remains in care. If the parent’s income has changed (either increased or decreased) since the original order was issued, either ORS/CIC or the parent may request a review of the support amount. If a review is requested and the criteria found in Utah Code Annotated 62A-11-320.5 or 320.6 is met, ORS/CIC will establish a new support amount that will be valid only while the child is in care. Married parents (of the child in care) have a combined support obligation and case with ORS/CIC. Typically, married parent
