Oregon Supreme Court

Dept. of Human Services v. P. D.

October 14, 2021368 Or. 627

Summary

The Oregon Supreme Court affirmed the juvenile court’s order denying the motion to dismiss the dependency petitions but vacated portions of the dependency judgments that required the parents to take specified actions to regain custody, holding that the court had authority to make the children wards of the court but not to impose non‑emergency service requirements. The Court also held the appeal was not moot and that ORS 109.741 does not limit emergency jurisdiction under ORS 109.751.
