there’s a number of factors uh to

determine child support uh it frustrates

people sometimes because there are so

many different factors there’s kind of

the Baseline factors that go into the

Oregon child support guidelines which is

an actual calculator that you put in

some inputs and it spits out a number

that gives you your monthly amount

however there’s a lot of deviations and

there’s organ administrative rules that

govern deviations from the child support

calculation and they’re there to address

has a myriad of issues that people have

in their lives with income and um

various complications of finances so it

can be frustrating for people to not

understand when you can’t give them the

clear answer like here’s how it’s

calculated but there there’s kind of a

baseline of the calculation so it’s

income gross monthly income it’s um how

much time do you have with your children

so the parenting time physical custody

parenting time is another major

component for the calculation so income

parenting time I would say are the two

major factors and then you can put in

things like work-related daycare that’s

also in the calculation things like

what’s the insurance cost for medical

insurance for the child and for the each

parent that gets put into the

calculation and then it spits out a

number at the end but there’s a lot of

deviations depending on what somebody if

they’re self-employed you know if

there’s extra extra needs of the child

like if a child has specific issues that

require more um Financial input from the

parties that can also be a factor that

the courts can consider when deciding if

they need to deviate from the Baseline
