Petition For Governing Child Support Judgment

PETITION FOR GOVERNING CHILD SUPPORT JUDGMENT. This form is used in the Oregon Circuit Court when there are two or more existing child support judgments involving the same obligor (the person ordered to pay support) and the same child or children for overlapping time periods. The petitioner—either one of the parties or the State of Oregon—uses this form to ask the court to resolve the conflict between these multiple judgments by issuing a single, governing child support judgment that will control going forward. The form outlines the specific judgments in question, including their case numbers, issuing counties, entry dates, and support terms, and allows the petitioner to argue why one of the judgments should not be presumed controlling. Reasons may include mistakes, newly discovered evidence, fraud, legal invalidity, or procedural issues like lack of notice about another existing support order. The petitioner can also request that terms from an earlier judgment—such as those concerning cash child support or medical coverage—continue to apply if the most recent judgment does not address them. Once completed, the form requires the petitioner to swear under oath that the information provided is true, and to file a certified copy of the new governing judgment with any courts or agencies that issued previous orders. Failure to do so may result in sanctions. This petition is authorized under Oregon Revised Statutes (ORS) 25.091, which allows for the consolidation and clarification of multiple conflicting child support orders into one enforceable judgment. www.FormsWorkflow.com
