A: In Oregon, obtaining sole custody of your daughter amidst your future ex-wife being under criminal investigation and her relocation to another state involves demonstrating to the court that such an arrangement would be in the best interest of your child. The court considers various factors in custody decisions, including the safety and welfare of the child, the conduct of the parents, and the child's relationship with each parent. The criminal investigation of your ex-wife could influence the court's decision if it directly affects her ability to provide a safe and stable environment for your daughter. However, the outcome will depend on the specifics of the investigation, the nature of the alleged crimes, and overall family dynamics.
