If you are the sole custodian, that means that you make the decision as to where the child lives. However, you want to be careful about the amount of time you are not with the child, because being away that long could reflect poorly in future proceedings if there are any. Additionally, if there... View More

You would need to have an attorney look at and interpret your entire parenting plan to give you a specific answer. But from the limited info you gave it sounds like giving notice and location info is all the required. Generally speaking you should always let the other parent know where you and... View More

This is a tough problem that I have seen in the past. If he is not on the birth certificate or otherwise legally established as the father, he is likely committing kidnapping. The police should help. Ask to speak to a supervisor or the captain of the police department and explain what is... View More

In order to change custody from one parent to the other, the moving party has to prove that there has been a substantial change in circumstances. From the facts you have given, that seems unlikely. I would need to know a bit more about the facts and background, but it generally sounds like she... View More

You will need to file a request for hearing, which should be available online. The burden of proof for the moving party will be whether the child or children were in imminent danger of further abuse at the time of filing.

In general, you cannot get a new judge unless you file a contempt proceeding against the other party. You can ask the court to allow you to keep your location confidential under ORS 109.767 (5). I have found that a verbal request to keep the location secret at trial is most often granted. Based... View More

You want to file a Motion to Enforce the Parenting Plan. This will allow a judge to review your judgment and the evidence to determine if your ex violated the parenting plan. If the judge finds that she has, he can order her to resume contact and visitation. He can also require that the children... View More

It isn't clear how what your question is? Why do you say you have guardianship but then discuss going to court over a court ordered guardianship? You really need to post this question again and explain more specifically what is going on.

It depends. If a consequence for forgetting the child is imposed in your parenting plan, that is enforceable. However, if the parenting plan does not provide a consequence, you cannot deny your ex his parenting time without consequence to yourself. Your only options in this matter are to file a... View More

Testimony in itself is evidence, and because of the quick-set nature of immediate danger hearings, that is often the only evidence. Were you at the initial appearance, and if so, did you present testimony there? If so, the court does not have to set a hearing for objection. If not, the court is... View More

It is very unlikely given the facts that he would have a shot at custody, unless you are an unfit parent, meaning you cannot be trusted to act in the best interests of your child. The court in family law cannot prevent you from moving, but if he filed a "Temporary Order of Restraint,"... View More

Under Oregon Revised Statute 163.427(1)(a), a person commits the crime of sexual abuse in the first degree when that person subjects another person to sexual contact and the victim is less than 14 years of age and the victim is subjected to forcible compulsion by the actor, or the victim is...

You would need to file a Motion to Modify Child Support and Parenting Time. The court staff typically has self-serve packets that you can fill out and submit, or you can hire an attorney to start the process for you.

If you have criminal charges pending against you, you cannot have contact with the alleged victim due to an automatic no contact order that is imposed at the beginning of a criminal case. The house is still marital property, unless there was a legal separation or dissolution proceeding that... View More

This sounds like fairly weak grounds for a restraining order, but I have seen restraining orders granted for less. At this point, because the consequences of having a restraining order against you can be extreme, I would hire an attorney and file for custody. I would also have your son cease... View More

There are specific statutes that govern the filing of a foreign judgment and these typically include a requirement that the other party be notified so they can object. Here are some of the statutes which apply: https://www.oregonlegislature.gov/bills_laws/ors/ors024.html There may be other... View More

Why risk being charged with custodial inference? When he turns 18 he can live anywhere he wants. Just tell him you have a room waiting for him when he turns 18 and he can stay as long as you both want.

There is really no rule as to who has the social security card of the child in a divorce when there is joint custody. Joint custody assumes that the parents are able to agree to a place in which the card will be kept. Probably what should happen is the parties agree to place the card in a safe... View More

I am not sure that it would constitute neglect in the way that child protective services would define it. It is certainly concerning, and you should read the parenting time plan to see if there is a provision for providing and administering any medication prescribed by a doctor.

You can ask him to file a Voluntary Acknowledgment of Paternity with the Oregon Vital Records office, you can file a motion to establish paternity, or you can go through the Department of Child Support to try and establish child support.
