8.042 Orders to Show Cause

(1) The procedures outlined in this rule are limited to domestic relations cases.
Domestic relations cases include legal separations, annulment of marriage,
dissolution of marriage and filiations.  This rule is not applicable to contempt
proceedings related to such actions.

(2) Except for proceedings governed by ORS 107.097, ORS 107.135(13) or ORS
107.138, this rule applies to all orders to show cause in domestic relations matters
whether or not the issues are pre-trial or post-judgment.

(3) An order to show cause will be allowed only upon the motion of a party which
itemizes the requested relief and is supported by sufficient written affidavit or
declaration setting forth the justification for the relief requested.  The order to show
cause will not contain a date for hearing.  The order must contain in bold type in the
body of the order the following notice or a similar notice which contains, at
minimum, all of the below requirements:

 “NOTICE TO PARTIES RECEIVING THESE PAPERS:

If you object to any of the requests in the attached Motion, you
must file a written response:

   1)  which itemizes the disputed issues; and
   2)  sets forth any additional relief requested

  You must file the written response no later than thirty (30) days
after this order has been served on you.  If you do not file the
