What are reasons for termination or modification of alimony in Oregon?
Alimony in Oregon is awarded as a way to provide financial support for the spouse so that he or she can maintain a similar lifestyle that they had during the marriage. The court may award what is known as transitional spousal support, which is used to cover the expenses of a custodial parent while they are trying to re-enter the work force. The judge may decide to give compensatory support to reimburse the spouse for putting their husband or wife through school while they were married.
