Oregon Statutes 419B.408 – Enforcement of support order
(1) An order of support entered pursuant to ORS § 419B.400 may be enforced by execution or in the manner provided by law for the enforcement of a judgment granting an equitable remedy or by an order to withhold pursuant to ORS § 25.372 to 25.427.
Terms Used In Oregon Statutes 419B.408
- Equitable: Pertaining to civil suits in "equity" rather than in "law." In English legal history, the courts of "law" could order the payment of damages and could afford no other remedy. See damages. A separate court of "equity" could order someone to do something or to cease to do something. See, e.g., injunction. In American jurisprudence, the federal courts have both legal and equitable power, but the distinction is still an important one. For example, a trial by jury is normally available in "law" cases but not in "equity" cases. Source: U.S. Courts
- Person: includes individuals, corporations, associations, firms, partnerships, limited liability companies and joint stock companies. See Oregon Statutes 174.100
(2) No property of the child or ward’s parents, or either of them, or other person legally obligated to support the child or ward is exempt from levy and sale or other process to enforce collection of the amounts ordered by the court to be paid toward the support of the child or ward.
