Child Custody, Parenting Time, Child Support

Representation in Salem, Oregon

Child Custody and Support Attorney

Facing decisions involving the custody of your child is very overwhelming and strenuous. As an Oregon family law attorney at the Law Office of Elaine Smith-Koop, I am very compassionate and understanding of clients facing these very difficult times. I offer more than 15 years of experience as well as my personal attention to clients throughout these family matters. Contact a Salem child custody lawyer to learn how I can help.

Child Custody and Parenting Time/Visitation

• Sole custody: one parent has all decision making powers
• Joint custody: both parents have equal decision making powers

When there is a dispute involving children, the parties involved must attempt to resolve the matter through mediation. If the matter is not resolved, the court may order a custody study to be conducted. An expert would be obtained to review and evaluate the situation and make a recommendation on how to resolve the situation.

Child Support

In Oregon, there are uniform support guidelines which give a formula for determining child support. My Salem child custody law firm can assist you in evaluating your situation to estimate the child support and in obtaining an order for support. Additionally, I assist in considerations of health insurance, daycare costs, and other important costs for the child.
