R527-250-5. Burden of Proof

  1. ORS/CSS will enforce child support based on the "kindergarten plus twelve years" standard until a parent or guardian has provided appropriate documentation to support an emancipation date other than that standard.

  2. A parent or guardian requesting the deviation from the standard is responsible for gathering the appropriate documentation and providing the information to ORS/CSS.

  3. Changes to the child support amount due will not be effective until the month following the emancipation date.

  4. Changes to the child support amount which are based on a date other than the 18th birthday or the "kindergarten plus twelve year" standard will not be effective until the month following the determined date of emancipation or the month following in which the parent or guardian provides sufficient documentation to support the new emancipation date, whichever occurs later. If an over collection occurs due to the parent not providing documentation, the parent will be responsible for recovering any overpaid amounts without involving ORS/CSS.
