Oregon Supreme Court

Dept. of Human Services v. J. S.

September 17, 2021368 Or. 516

Summary

The Oregon Supreme Court held that the juvenile court properly exercised temporary emergency jurisdiction under ORS 109.751 to enter dependency judgments making the children wards, but it exceeded that jurisdiction by ordering parents to take specified actions to regain custody; those portions are vacated. The court also held that the juvenile court was not required to communicate with the Washington court before entering the dependency judgments.
