28 MODIFICATION OF CHILD SUPPORT ORDERS
If your child support case is handled by the District Attorney or the
Department of Justice Division of Child Support, this agency will review your child
support order if at least two years have passed since the order was entered,
modified, or last reviewed. This review will take place only if a parent requests.
The purpose of the review is to see if the amount ordered is still within the
guidelines for child support set out in Oregon law. The review could result in an
increase or decrease in the support amount, depending on the parents’ financial
circumstances and the needs of the child.
This “periodic review” service is provided at no cost to parents, but is
available only for cases handled by the District Attorney or the Department of
Justice.
The support agency handling your case will also review your support order
for compliance with the guidelines whenever a substantial change in circumstance
has occurred. You can request this “change in circumstance” modification from the
support agency. But any support order (not just orders handled by the District
Attorney or Department of Justice) can be modified because of a change in
circumstance, so a private attorney is able to assist you with this, too. You may also
represent yourself.
LIFE INSURANCE COVERAGE FOR CHILD(REN)
____ _____________________________________ shall obtain and maintain life
insurance for the benefit of the parties’ child/ren throughout the period of the support obligation
if he/she is insurable. This parent shall maintain coverage in an amount sufficient to provide, in

this parent when the final judgment is entered, this parent shall provide insurance in the future
when it becomes available to him/her.
