Earnings

Weekly pay left after deductions required by law, such as taxes (15 U.S.C. 1672). Voluntary deductions still count as disposable.

Situation
Does the paying parent support another spouse or dependent child?
Do the arrears cover a period more than 12 weeks ago?

Maximum weekly withholding for support: $400.00

That is 50% of disposable earnings under the Oregon cap for this situation (ORS 25.414(8)), at or below the federal CCPA tier.
