Change of Address Instructions

Packet 6E

Notice about these instructions and forms.

These instructions are not a complete statement of the law. For legal information, please talk to a

lawyer and/or visit your local law library.

IMPORTANT: Check with your local court or your court’s family law facilitator to make sure

you have followed the procedures and used the correct forms for your court. Many courts have their

own forms and rules. Information about how to contact your local court may be found at the Oregon Judicial

Department website:

GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT THESE FORMS

If you are planning to move 60 miles further distant from the other parent of your child/ren, you will

most likely need to give “reasonable notice” of your change of residence to the other parent and file proof with

the court showing you have done this. This packet is designed to help you do this.

“Reasonable notice” is that which would give the other parent enough time, should they choose, to file a

Motion for a Status Quo Order (See Packets 6B and 6C) or to modify your judgment or parenting plan (see

Packet 4).

Providing the other party with “reasonable notice” and filing proof with the court, must be done

BEFORE your actual move.

FILLING OUT THE FORM

1. Fill out the top portion of the Notice of Change of Address Pursuant to ORS 107.159 form by entering the

county in which the proceeding is taking place, the names of the parties, and the case number. This will be the

same information as appears in the documents that were filed in your original case.

2. Check the box indicating your status as Petitioner or Respondent.

3. Provide complete information asked about your former and new address.

4. Under “Certificate of Document Preparation” check the box that applies to your situation.

5. Under “Submitted by,” sign and then print your name and provide the information asked for.

Please Note: The Notice of Change of Address form only asks for your contact address. If you are concerned

about your safety, this form gives notice to the court and the other parent of your anticipated move, but allows

you to keep your new physical address safe and confidential.

FILING AND SERVICE

File the Original with the Court

Make two copies of the Notice of Change of Address Pursuant to ORS 107.159 form. Including the

original, you will have three documents. The original goes to the court, one copy will be served on the other

parent, and the other copy you will keep for your records. Sign your name again under “I certify that this is a

true copy” on the copy of the Notice of Change of Address form that you will be giving to the other parent. File

the original document with the court clerk.
