Get Or Motion For Order To Show Cause Re Enforcement Of Parenting Plan And Order 2004-2024

In Oregon, the custodial parent can relocate within 60 miles of the other parent without notification ahead of time. No matter the distance, however, the parents must continue to honor the court-ordered parenting agreement. For moves of greater distances, the state statute has a notice of intent to relocate provision.

Parenting time (sometimes called visitation) is the time each parent will have with the child. Like custody, parenting time is also based on the “best interests of the child.” There are many variations to a parenting time schedule. There is no presumption in Oregon law for equal parenting time.

It is a common misconception that there is a “magic age” when a child can decide which parent they will live with. In both Washington and Oregon, a child can only choose which parent they'd like to live with when they turn 18 or are otherwise emancipated.

There is no specific age at which a child can decide to refuse to visit with a parent or change custody arrangements without the court's approval.

Enforcing Your Parenting Plan in Oregon. Oregon law (ORS 107.434) requires each judicial district to establish expedited parenting time enforcement procedures. The court will provide forms for you to fill out and file when there has been a violation of parenting time or a parenting plan.

A modification case is started by filing a motion and affidavit citing the facts you claim are a substantial change in circumstances. You are required to sign the affidavit under oath. The former spouse or other parent is not required to file any response to the motion.

Police Enforcement of Child Custody Orders in California Police officers, therefore, are able to enforce child custody orders if a parent contacts the local police department. However, there are other ways to enforce child custody orders, and it is recommended that anyone dealing with this issue contact a lawyer.

Joint custody does not mean that a child lives with each parent half the time. In fact, parents may have joint custody even when a child lives exclusively with one parent. A judge cannot award joint custody in Oregon unless both parents agree to it.
