Can I get custody without filing for divorce or bringing a separate custody case? Custody of your child normally goes to the other parent when you die. However, if another person requests that your child be placed under guardianship after your death, the judge may consider your wishes. This is often the case in a will. You can talk to a lawyer about the best way to express your custody wishes. Can the judge deny custody of a parent simply because he or she is homosexual? What if my spouse and I can`t agree on custody of our children? Oregon laws require that any parent entitled to custody of children can be up to 60 miles from their current residence without notice or permission. However, if a custodial parent wishes to move more than 60 miles away, this must be communicated to the other parent and to the court. A common question from parents after divorce is, “Can I move to another state with my child” or “Can I prevent my ex-spouse from moving to another state with my child?” The right to relocate a child (often referred to as a “departure case”) is complex and fact-specific. In the past, the court has focused on the “well-being” of the child and not on the wishes of a parent.

You can`t force your spouse to return your child after a visit or enforce another agreement unless you have a court order. NOTE: Child custody laws apply to both married and unmoiled parents. For un married parents, paternity must be established before custody can be ordered. Click here for information on Fatherhood. Judgments may be modified (modified) if circumstances change. The court may consider changes to custody, parental leave and assistance. A judgment may be amended at a later date. Both parents may give their consent or any parent may submit an application for amendment. In order for a parent to change custody or assistance, they must show that circumstances have changed significantly since the last custody or support order. Changing custody or parental leave must also be in the best interests of the child.
An application for amendment should be filed with the same district court that applied to the judgment you wish to amend. . . .
