Explaining Oregon Law - Provisions of order or judgment providing for custody, parenting time, visitation or support of child

ORS 107.106 covers items which much be addressed when custody, parenting time or child support are included in a judgment or order. The items which must be included are:

  1. Provisions for payment of uninsured medical expenses of the child
  2. Maintenance of insurance or other security for support and
  3. Medical support for the child.

“Medical support” means an amount a parent is ordered to pay to help defray medical costs above and beyond what the other parent is providing in terms of insurance, for example, uninsured medical expenses.

This section also requires that every judgment contains a specific notice about the payment and enforcement of child support orders.
