You should be able to pay support directly to your child. However, if you have an existing support order through the Department of Justice, you should make a request to the DOJ that you would like to change who your payments are made to, and the DOJ can make that change.

Child support payments are for CHILD SUPPORT. That means they are paid to the person responsible for supporting the child, which is certainly not the child. In some cases the court allows the mother (or the father, sometimes) to continue receiving the child support for some period of time after... Read more »

It sounds like you are still following the parenting plan for a new born. At one year of age you should be able to take your child for overnight visits. You will need to pin down a consistent day on which you get your overnight visit however as it is just too hard for the other parent to... Read more »

You had better take a look at that child support order in the Divorce Judgment. It should say that the support once you turn 18 only has to be paid if you qualify as a child attending school as defined by Oregon Law. This means you have to be a full time student with a C average. It doesn't... Read more »

Parents have the right to Parent. No court order is technically required to determine custody or parenting time. The reason to go to court to get an order is to balance out the rights of the parents with the assistance of the courts. So yes, as a father you do have rights. That's why you... Read more »

The fact that he got fired doesn't automatically lower his support obligation. It will continue until the court orders a change. If he files to modify the support you can certainly argue that his past work history proves what his minimum earning capacity is. The court is likely to continue... Read more »
