We help children receive the financial and medical support they need to thrive.
To accomplish this, we work with parents and families to make sure children receive regular support payments and that support orders are fair to everyone. In the case of parents who are unwilling but able to pay support, our office utilizes strong enforcement measures to collect the court ordered child support.
Please note that we are a law office that represents Clackamas County and we do not represent you or anyone else involved in your case.
What We Do
- Establish parentage for children of unmarried parents
- Establish a support order if you don't have one
- Collect, account for, and distribute payments under an existing support order
- Modify support orders on request, every 35 months or if there is a substantial change
- Take enforcement action for parents that are unwilling to pay support
