What if I paid the rent and bought food for my kids instead of paying cash child support to the custodial parent?
ORS/CSS may give credit to non-custodial parents for “in-kind” support payments that have been made in lieu of cash support payments when certain conditions exist. For example, if the non-custodial parent was ordered to pay the house payment instead of paying child support. Or, there is a written in-kind support agreement between the custodial parent and the non-custodial parent that has been filed with the court, and ORS/CSS had notice of the agreement and registered no objection when the custodial parent applied for cash assistance. ORS/CSS may also give credit if there is no support order and the non-custodial parent has made in-kind support payments to or on behalf of the custodial parent or child(ren), and payment was made prior to the date the non-custodial parent received notice from ORS/CSS. The non-custodial parent must provide verification of the in-kind payment, e.g., canceled checks or notarized statements signed by the custodial parent.
