Having to face the restraining order process can be life changing and should not be handled alone. At Kathleen Baker & Associates, we are prepared to help our clients either protect themselves and their children from an abuser or defend against false claims. Restraining orders are a serious legal tool of protection. In Oregon they ensure the protected person regains security by limiting contact and a restraining order can restrict or order limited supervised parenting time as additional protection. For those who have been falsely accused, these orders can have lasting impacts on their future and affect everything from parenting time, gun ownership, to employment opportunities. Our attorneys are well versed in the subject matter and compassionate to our client's needs. We are here to help. We know the law, we understand what’s at stake, and we can get your voice heard.

PARENTING TIME & COVID-19
Still uncertain whether COVID-19 affects your parenting time rights? Many parents believe that it is okay to deny parenting time because of the virus that took the globe by storm. That belief is unfortunately or fortunately (if you have been denied your parenting time), incorrect.
Unless an agreement has been reached by you and the other parent or ordered by the court, parents must abide by their current parenting time, despite the pandemic. In other words, a parent cannot deny parenting time because of COVID-19.
