Bill > HB2638

This bill modifies Oregon Revised Statute (ORS) 107.095, which governs court orders during divorce, separation, or annulment proceedings. The key changes expand the court's authority to make temporary orders about property and living arrangements during a marriage dissolution case. Specifically, the bill adds the word "exclusive" when describing the court's ability to grant temporary use, possession, and control of real or personal property to one party. The bill also maintains existing provisions that allow courts to order financial support, determine child custody and parenting time, prevent parties from molesting or interfering with each other, and restrain parties from disposing of property. An important new provision allows the court to require one party to move out of the family home even without children present if that party has assaulted or threatened to assault the other party. The bill preserves the court's ability to enter limited judgments and includes provisions about potential firearms restrictions for restrained parties. These changes aim to provide more flexibility and protection for parties during the divorce process, particularly in situations involving potential domestic violence.
