(a) ‘Administrator’ has the meaning given that term in ORS § 25.010.

(b) ‘Child support judgment’ has the meaning given that term in ORS § 25.089.

(2) Notwithstanding the provisions of ORS § 25.089, 25.091 and 25.531 to the contrary, the terms of a child support judgment originating under ORS § 25.529 are terminated by the terms of a later-issued child support judgment of a court if:

(a) The two child support judgments involve the same obligor and child and the same period;

(b) The administrator is providing services under ORS § 25.080;

(c) The administrator or a court gives the later-issued child support judgment precedence over the earlier-issued child support judgment originating under ORS § 25.529; and

(d) All parties had an opportunity to challenge the amount of child support ordered in the later-issued child support judgment.

(3) Notwithstanding the provisions of ORS § 25.091 (11) and 25.531 (7), for purposes of reconciling any support payment records under the two child support judgments described in subsection (2) of this section:

(a) The terms of the child support judgment originating under ORS § 25.529 are deemed terminated on the effective date of the later-issued child support judgment; and

(b) Entry of the later-issued child support judgment does not affect the amount of any support payment arrearage or credit that has accrued under the earlier-issued child support judgment originating under ORS § 25.529.

(4) Any arrearage that accrued under a judgment that is terminated as provided in subsection (2) of this section or that is explicitly terminated by any other later-issued court judgment is subsumed by the later-issued court judgment and is enforceable in the court case in which the later-issued court judgment was entered.
