Chapter 109 — Parent and Child Rights and Relationships
ORS 109.075 Binding effect of determination of parentage
Except as otherwise provided in subsection (2) of this section:
A parent to an adjudication of parentage by a court acting under circumstances that satisfy the jurisdiction requirements of ORS 110.518 and any individual who received notice of the proceeding are bound by the adjudication.
A child is bound by a determination of parentage only if:
The determination was based on an unrescinded acknowledgment of parentage and the acknowledgment is consistent with the results of genetic testing;
The determination was based on a finding consistent with the results of genetic testing and the consistency is declared in the determination or otherwise shown;
The child was a party or was represented by an attorney in the proceeding.
In a proceeding for dissolution, annulment or legal separation, the court is deemed to have made an adjudication of parentage of a child if the court acts under circumstances that satisfy the jurisdiction requirements of ORS 110.518 and the final judgment:
Expressly identifies the child as a “child of the marriage” or “issue of the marriage” or includes similar words indicating that both spouses are parents of the child; or
Provides for support of the child by a spouse unless that spouse’s parentage of the child is disclaimed specifically in the judgment.
Except as otherwise provided in subsection (2) of this section or ORS 109.070, a determination of parentage may be asserted as a defense in a subsequent proceeding seeking to adjudicate parentage of an individual who was not a party to the earlier proceeding.
A party to an adjudication of parentage may challenge the adjudication only under ORS 109.072.
