Legal Question in Family Law in Oregon

Re: Child custody or guardianship

You need more than simply a letter. You need a Power of Attorney for Temporary Delegation of Parental Authority.

See ORS 109.056, which says:

"A parent * * *, by a properly executed power of attorney, may delegate to another person, for a period not exceeding six months, any of the powers of the parent * * * regarding care, custody or property of the minor child, except the power to consent to marriage or adoption."

Most attorneys will be able to assist you in preparing the Power of Attorney, usually for a modest fee ($100 or less).
