[quote]Oregon courts have a general bias towards women. They dispense spousal support with complete disregard as to whether it's affordable. There is no real calculation for spousal support, so it's the whim of the judge that determines the final amount and duration. Another really cool thing about Oregon's liberal domestic court system is that remarriage is not considered a "substantial change of circumstances" and therefore does not necessarily mean the end of spousal support.
I won sole custody of my kids and my wife continues to collect support from me....without having to pay a dime in child support....and SHE remarried two years ago to her divorce attorney.
What a great state to be divorced in if you don't sport a penis! [/quote]
While I am sorry that your still have to pay spousal support after she's remarried, I am glad to hear that Oregon does award spousal support.
Hi y'all. I've been with my husband for 7 years, married for 5 (we just had our 5th anniversary a week ago). I got an e-mail from him last night announcing that he's filed for divorce and has found someone else. This came out of the blue as only a couple hours before I received that e-mail, he and I were on the phone with each other and "I love you", "I love you too" were said. I had no idea he was unhappy.
So now, I am going to be asking for spousal support. I gross roughly $1000-$1200 a month. He is a long haul trucker and has the potential (as the records will show) of making that in TAKE HOME pay, per WEEK. I think the least he can do is pay into this household that he destroyed. Some might say that I should get a better paying job. This is the ONLY place that hired me after searching for 3 years. I have substancial physical limitation and I'm Bi-Polar.
