Child support is money one parent must pay to the other parent (or directly to the child if over 18 in some circumstances) for the care, support, education and welfare of the parties’ children. In Oregon, child support is generally awarded in cases involving children younger than 18, although a support obligation may continue until the child reaches 21 if the child is a “child attending school” as defined by state statute.

Spousal support is money that a court orders a party to pay to a former spouse to help that spouse meet his or her needs, preserve a similar lifestyle to that enjoyed during the marriage, or to allow a spouse to become self-sufficient. Spousal support is not awarded in every dissolution case and may only be ordered in dissolution of marriage cases (not in paternity or unmarried custody cases).
