ORS 25.095 Later-issued child support judgment

As used in this section:

“Administrator” has the meaning given that term in ORS 25.010.

“Child support judgment” has the meaning given that term in ORS 25.089.

Notwithstanding the provisions of ORS 25.089, 25.091 and 25.531 to the contrary, the terms of a child support judgment are terminated by the terms of a later-issued child support judgment if:

The two child support judgments involve:

The same obligor, child and period; or

The same parties, child and period and the later-issued child support judgment changed the child support obligation from one parent to another parent but did not expressly terminate the former obligation;

The administrator is providing services under ORS 25.080;

The administrator or a court gives the later-issued child support judgment precedence over the earlier-issued child support judgment; and

All parties had an opportunity to challenge the amount of child support ordered in the later-issued child support judgment.

Notwithstanding the provisions of ORS 25.091 (11) and 25.531 (7), for purposes of reconciling any support payment records under the two child support judgments described in subsection (2) of this section:

The terms of the child support judgment are deemed terminated on the effective date of the later-issued child support judgment; and

Entry of the later-issued child support judgment does not affect the amount of any support payment arrearage or credit that has accrued under the earlier-issued child support judgment.

Any arrearage that accrued under a judgment that is terminated as provided in subsection (2) of this section or that is explicitly terminated by any other later-issued court judgment is subsumed by the later-issued court judgment and is enforceable in the court case in which the later-issued court judgment was entered.
