Legal Question in Family Law in Oregon

Re: worried about my children

If he is on parol or probation and is not supposed to be around children, contact his parol or probation officer.

If you feel that the mother is not protecting the children by allowing her father to be in her home, file a motion with the divorce court asking the court to modify your divorce decree so as to make it clear that mother, as a condition to continued custody, is not to allow her father to reside in the home.

If you feel there is a real and immediate danger to the children, call the Child Protective Services hotline, or, if an emergency, call 911.

Re: worried about my children

You (and your wife should join you in this action) should file a restraining order against the grandfather requiring that he is not to be present with the children (and that includes even when there are other adults present). You have the obligation to protect your daughters from known molesters. If your wife refuses to cooperate, then tell her that you will ask the court for custody because she is endangering the children.
