Child Custody Overview

Obtaining a Child Custody Modification in Oregon

Life after a divorce brings many changes. There is the initial adjustment period that comes with taking what was one household supported by two incomes, and creating two new households, each supported by one. There are even more changes that follow. From time to time, these changes also create a need to change the terms of your divorce. In legal terms, these changes are known as post-divorce modifications.

With the help of an experienced divorce lawyer, it is not difficult to negotiate or obtain a modification in most situations.

At Leibenguth Law in Portland, Oregon, we represent mothers and fathers in the Portland, Oregon, metropolitan area who need to obtain child custody and parenting plan modifications, and those mothers and fathers who want to prevent such modifications from being granted. Because of our extensive experience and understanding of both sides of the issue, we have been able to develop thoughtful, creative solutions that have helped many of our previous clients avoid litigating these issues in court.

Custodial Parent Relocation

What should you do if you were given primary residential custody of your children but you now need to move out of state, even if it's just to Seattle? What if a former spouse has given you notice that he or she intends to relocate and take your children with them?

In either case, you will be doing yourself a huge favor by contacting a lawyer as soon as possible. Oregon's custodial parent relocation law and statutes are complicated, with pitfalls for parents on either side of the proposed change. We know the law and can effectively protect your rights and the best interests of your children in any such matter.
