Dept. of Human Services v. F. J. M.

Summary

The Oregon Supreme Court affirmed the Court of Appeals and circuit court, holding that under ORS 419B.387 a juvenile court may order a parent to undergo a psychological evaluation when the evaluation is considered “treatment” and is “needed” to correct the circumstances that led to wardship. The court interpreted “treatment” broadly to include diagnostic evaluations and required a fact‑specific inquiry to determine need.
