Yes, but only temporarily. If you have been a victim of abuse within the last six months and your children have ties to Oregon or need emergency protection, you may be able to get an emergency restraining order with custody under the Family Abuse Prevention Act (FAPA). These orders usually last for one year. But if the other parent requests a hearing, the judge might change custody or parenting time terms, depending on the evidence. You will eventually need a permanent decision about custody in a divorce or other custody lawsuit.
