Transitional Spousal Support in Oregon Divorce Mediation

Transitional spousal support in Oregon is not as literal as it sounds. Although every divorce is a transition that requires adjustment, the definition of transitional spousal support in the Oregon Revised Statutes is narrower and more specific.

ORS 107.105(1)(d) provides that transitional spousal support may be awarded by a judge "as needed for a party to attain education and training necessary to allow the party to prepare for reentry into the job market or for advancement therein."

In divorce mediation, the two parties are the "judges" because the parties set the terms of the agreement. The Circuit Court judge will approve any settlement that is not plainly unreasonable or unconscionable.
