Re: Custody

Your ex cannot amend the divorce decree unilaterally. He will have to serve you with a copy of his proposed amendment and set a hearing. Of course, if you don't show up, he will get a default judgement that will give him what he wants.

Modifying the divorce decree after you have moved with no objection to the court is going to be an uphill battle for him. You should take action in OR right away to move the case to OR. That would make it even more difficult. See a Family Lawyer in OR.
