Relating to family law.
HB 2638 modifies Oregon courts' authority during pending divorce, annulment, or separation cases. It grants courts power to order temporary spousal support, establish child custody arrangements, require one spouse to leave the family home (especially for safety reasons like domestic violence), and restrict property sales without court approval. The bill also clarifies that limited judgments on support can't be appealed until a final judgment is entered, and adds provisions allowing courts to include firearm restrictions in certain restraining orders. These changes directly affect individuals navigating family court proceedings involving property, housing, and safety.
