Ready for Filing, but a question

[Lyrael924]

Soc-

Our case is the case of the 8-year-old boy, living in Oregon with mom, who has sole legal and physical custody. We are trying for visitation with him. Dad lives in Illinois and has no visitation rights currently. We have a child support order in place from Hawaii.

We are mailing the forms (both the custody registration and the Motion for OSC) to be filed with the court. Here is my concern:

1) When we call to find out the hearing date, the other parent needs to be served notice of it, along with a true copy of the signed order. If the court sends the info first class, is there a chance we would be too late with our service?

2) Is there any way to make sure this doesn't happen, perhaps some other way of serving her with notice of the hearing?

We have no problem appearing at the hearing. I just am nervous that it will be so fast we will not have adequate time to serve the mom.

Thanks!

Hire a local process server to go to the court and get a copy of the OSC and then serve it for you. Probably cost $150-200. The order is public record.

See above.
