Registering Custody Agreement Oregon

Ask Your Question For Free

Summary

The Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act (UCCJEA) governs which state has jurisdiction over child custody matters. The childs home state, where they lived for at least six months prior to legal proceedings, typically has primary jurisdiction. If incorrect information was used to determine jurisdiction, you may need to consult with an attorney in Idaho, provide evidence of your childs residency in Oregon, and possibly challenge the jurisdiction decision in Idaho court. Legal advice from a family law attorney is recommended.

Hello Bobbi Harrell. This can be a complex situation. The Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act (UCCJEA) governs which state has jurisdiction. Without more details, it's hard to give a precise answer. Are both you and your ex currently residing in different states?
yes i am in oregon and he is idaho. he took my son that i had custody of without my permission back to idaho and lied about the time he was there and he claimed residency in idaho, so theres nothing oregon can do to help me even though we were resisendts and he still would be if he hadnt been taken illegally.
I'm sorry to hear about your situation, Bobbi. According to UCCJEA:
- The child's "home state" has primary jurisdiction.
- The home state is where the child lived with a parent for at least 6 months prior to legal proceedings.
Your situation seems complex and legal advice from a family law attorney would be beneficial.
my son was in oregon prior to legal proceedings but his father lied about how long hed been in idaho so they call idaho his hoe state.
I'm sorry to hear about your situation, Bobbi. If you believe that incorrect information was used to determine jurisdiction, it would be wise to:
- Consult with an attorney in Idaho
- Provide evidence of your son's residency in Oregon
- Possibly challenge the jurisdiction decision in Idaho court
Remember, this is general advice and it's recommended to consult with a legal professional.
