Common Questions

If I have legal custody, can I move out of Oregon with my children?

You should be able to move out of state with your child unless a custody order or protective order says that you cannot. But even if there are no restrictions in your orders, the other parent can stop you from moving the child by getting a new court order at the time of the move. A judge will order a parent not to move the child if the judge finds that the move would not be in the best interest of the child. You must still allow parenting time to the other parent if you move. Some adjustments will have to be made and a court will decide if the parents can’t agree.
