child support calculation
Hi James! Child support calculations in Oregon follow specific guidelines to ensure fair support for the child. It generally considers both parents' incomes, the amount of time the child spends with each parent, and other relevant factors.
Do you have any specific details or questions about your income or custody arrangements that you need help with?
I am paying * in spousal support per month and I noticed on the child support calculator, my "gross income" is being subtracted by *, but that * represents post tax money so shouldn't it be subtracted by * (which is my pretax amount of spousal support)?
In Oregon, when calculating child support, the gross income can be adjusted by the amount of spousal support paid. However, the calculation usually considers the actual dollar amount paid (post-tax) rather than the pretax value.
Did you receive any specific guidance from the child support office on how to handle pretax versus post-tax amounts?
no
