Q: What should I bring to court to fight a post judgement status quo
My ex wife filed it because I took my child out of the daycare we used because I no longer needed it. We home school him now because it was technically a private school
A:
Dear Questioner,
You're going to need to show that what you're doing is in the best interest of the child. This means presenting evidence to the court. A third-party neutral witness would be best, such as a teacher or someone else who can tell why your new situation is better.
If it's an issue with money & private school tuition fees, you'll need to show the court how your financial situation is changed and why you can no longer do things the way you were (lost your job, etc . . .).
I'd really recommend you hire a family law attorney. http://www.osbar.org/public/ris/ris.html
Take care,

A: In Oregon, the only issue at a hearing for a status quo order is the child's usual residence and contacts with each parent for the 90 days immediately preceding the filing of the motion. You therefore need proof of the child's schedule and contacts with each parent during that time.
