Parenting at a Distance
Staying in touch with the children who live in your heart but not in your home.

As a bipolar mother I will never have custody of my children. That is the hardest thing I had to accept. Parenting at a Distance helps me send them activities that will help them remember me with some happy memories. I am getting better and they are getting older. Some day there will be an opportunity for us to sit together. I will tell them how much joy I found in putting together their projects and I hope they will be able to tell me how much they enjoyed my efforts. Really a good book. Meghan Morris --Letter to the publisher

Parenting at a Distance, has been a great resource for me. At first the mother of my son didn't want to help me communicate with the kids. The fact that I had a plan for contact with them and was consistent won her over. I think she gets as much a kick out of the seeing what will be in the next package as the boys do.

Marriage Encounter, is a weekend away from home, family and responsibilities where in a comfortable, secluded environment a couple is guided in the discovery of new techniques of communicating and sharing with one another. It is not a retreat, but it is a program designed to give couples the opportunity to examine their lives together, their weaknesses and strong points, their attitudes toward each other and toward their families. Couples are given the opportunity to look at themselves, privately with their partner in an honest, face-to-face, heart-to-heart encounter.

Engaged Encounter, is a weekend experience designed to help couples prepare personally and as a couple for marriage. The focus is on the marriage, not on the wedding. "A wedding is a day ... a marriage is a lifetime." Couples are shown communication and decision-making techniques they can use throughout their lifetime together. Engaged Encounter is specifically designed for quiet reflection and discussion by each couple. It is a positive, simple, common-sense experience between two people who are either seriously considering engagement, engaged or recently married. At no time will the couple be asked to share their private experiences with the group.

Court Appointed Special Advocates
    A safe, permanent home isn't something a child should only dream about. Almost half a million children in the United States live in foster care, meant to be a temporary haven. They have been removed from their homes, not because they did anything wrong, but because they've been abused or neglected. It's frightening and confusing for these children to suddenly find themselves in the complex world of social workers, attorneys and judges, people who have the power to decide where they will live and whether they will go home or be freed for adoption. Sometimes, these children can spend years in foster care, waiting for those decisions to be made. With overburdened caseloads, a social worker may not have the time to give the thorough attention these children deserve. They may simply not have the time to listen.

    One judge had an idea to help these children find a way into safe, permanent homes more quickly. His idea was CASA -- Court Appointed Special Advocates -- trained volunteers who would be appointed by a judge to speak up for the best interests of a child. Now, there are approximately 42,400 CASA volunteers helping abused and neglected children all across the country. But 3/4 of the children who need a CASA don't have one. You can help those girls and boys have a voice in court, and a chance at a future.

OR-District Court Cases




 

Gresham Child Custody and Parenting Time Lawyer

Child custody and parenting time decisions made by the court must be based on the best interests of the child.
Most Oregon counties (including Multnomah and Clackamas) require the parents to participate in mediation before a court will make a final decision
Oregon requires the parents to complete a parenting class that is offered in the county where the case has been filed.
Oregon courts will encourage each parent to have as much parenting time as possible. Exceptions can be when extraordinary circumstances affect parenting skills.
Oregon courts will generally approve custody and parenting time agreements made by a family. The goal is to develop a parenting plan that accounts for both parent's work schedules, children's activities, and other critical factors.


It is policy in Oregon to encourage parents to share the rights as well as the responsibilities of rearing joint children after the family has been divided.  As a mother herself, Stephanie understands and empathizes with the flood of emotions regarding what you believe is in the best interest of your child and will help you balance your child’s needs with the court expectations and decisions.
