Twenty-Fifth Judicial District – Yamhill Circuit 
Court Effective February 1, 2026 
custodial parent gives at least 3 days advance notice that he/she will exercise the scheduled weekend parenting 
time, the custodial parent will cancel the next following regularly scheduled parenting time. 
Canceling the next regularly scheduled parenting time period should not be done lightly and should not be 
done by the custodial parent when there is no regular history of missed parenting time, or when the missed 
parenting time was due to an emergency situation such as health or emergency weather conditions. 
(g) M
utual Respect Toward the Other Parent . Both parents shall not make bad, derogatory or otherwise
unflattering comments about the other party or in any way attempt to diminish the love, respect and affection
that the child has for the other parent.
(h) Suppor
t of Non-Custodial Parent’s Parenting Time. The custodial parent shall encourage parenting time with
the child and the child shall not be permitted to determine whether the child wishes to spend parenting time
with the non-custodial parent unless agreed to, in writing, by both parents.
(i) Access to Records and Events. In addition to the parenting time schedule, unless otherwise specifically
ordered by the court, the non- custodial parent shall have the right to attend sports activities, and have full
access to school teachers and administrators for complete information about the child in school. ORS 107.154
also affirms additional rights in the non -custodial parent unless otherwise ordered by the court. Each parent
shall be responsible for keeping themselves advised of the child’s activities and events.
(j) C
onflicting Dates. A child’s birthday schedule (see Holidays for elections) takes precedence over the holiday,
summer and alternating weekend schedules. The holiday schedule takes precedence over the summer and
alternating weekend schedule. Due to the holiday parenting time schedule set out in this Rule, there may be
occasions when one or both of the parents will have the child in his or her home for three weekends in a row.
This could happen because any holiday defined in this Rule shall replace the normal schedule for a given
weekend or time period. In other words, some weekends in a year will be lost due to conflicting vacations and
holidays.
(k) Daily Care. The parent with whom the child is staying will be responsible for daily care and will make
necessary decisions regarding emergency medical or dental care. The non- custodial parent’s rights to make
daily care decisions does not include leaving a child unattended in violation of Oregon law, haircuts,
permanents, or any substantial changes in the child’s appearance (e.g., tattoos, ear piercing, etc.) unless
authorized by the custodial parent.
(l) Day care. The non-custodial parent shall be responsible for arranging and paying  for day care for the child
during his or her parenting time periods.
(m) Emergencies. Each parent will immediately notify the other party of any emergency circumstances or
substantial changes in the health or safety of the child.
(n) W
riting, texting, emailing, and telephoning. The non-custodial parent shall, in addition to the parenting time
in this order, have the right to correspond with the child, and to telephone, text or email the child during
reasonable hours without monitoring by custodial parent or anyone else. Unless otherwise agreed to between
the parties, telephone calls, texts, or emails between non-custodial parent and the child shall be limited to no
more than 3 per week. The custodial parent shall also have similar rights during periods of non -custodial
parent’s parenting time. A child over the age of 12 shall have the right to initiate calls, texts, or emails to the
other parent during reasonable hours. Long distance calls are to be made collect unless other arrangements
are made.
(o) D
ecision Making. The custodial parent is encouraged to consult with the non-custodial parent regarding major
decisions affecting the child; however, the custodial parent shall have full decision- making authority. Each
parent shall exert his/her best effort to work cooperatively for the best interests of the child.
