Frequently Asked Questions

Can my child refuse to see the other parent?

In Oregon, children do not get to decide whether or not they wish to see the other parent until they reach age 18.

Is there a chance my ex might end up in jail?

Yes, it is possible, but unlikely. If someone is found to be in contempt of a court order, the most common sanctions are fines and paying the other party’s attorney’s fees and costs.

Can’t I just file the paperwork with the court myself?

Yes, it is possible to file for enforcement of your parenting plan or for contempt on your own. There are Oregon court forms available online. However, if you have the ability, it is generally better to have an attorney represent and assist you through this process. If mistakes are made by an unrepresented litigant, sometimes those mistakes cannot be corrected.
