What factors are considered when determining spousal support in Oregon?
Oregon courts consider several factors when awarding spousal support, including the length of the marriage, the standard of living during the marriage, each spouse’s income and earning potential, and contributions to the household or one spouse's education or career.
How long does spousal support last?
The duration of spousal support varies based on the type awarded—transitional support is typically short-term, while compensatory or maintenance support can last longer or even indefinitely, depending on the circumstances. Courts may set a timeline or review the support at specific intervals.
Can spousal support be modified after the divorce?
Yes, spousal support orders can be modified if there is a significant change in circumstances, such as a change in income, job loss, or health issues. Either party can request a modification through the court, but it must be approved based on current needs and circumstances.
