Legal Question in Family Law in Oregon

Re: Agreement Status from CA to OR

If both you and your ex move to Oregon, Oregon will then become (after six monnths) the "home state" of the children. You then cause your California custody judgment (probably contained within the terms of the divorce decree) to be filed (registered) with the circuit court of the Oregon county in which you will be residing, pursuant to the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act (UCCJEA). Once registered here in Oregon, the California custody judgment will then be enforceable, and modifiable, to the same extent as if it were an custody judgment originally rendered by an Oregon court.

Need legal services? If in the Portland metro area, give me a call.
