An Oregon Ex Parte Order For Temporary Custody And Parenting Time (16A) is a court order that is used to establish temporary custody and parenting time for a child. This order is typically used when a parent needs to temporarily change the existing parenting plan or when the parents are unable to agree on arrangements for the child. This order is issued on an emergency basis, meaning that the parent does not have to go through the usual court process for issuing a custody order. The order can last up to three weeks. There are two types of Oregon Ex Parte Order For Temporary Custody And Parenting Time (16A): Type A and Type B. Type A orders are issued when there is a risk of physical or emotional harm to the child. Type B orders are issued when the child needs to be placed in a more stable environment to ensure their safety.
