Rule 8.051 - DOMESTIC RELATIONS POST JUDGMENT SHOW CAUSE ORDERS(1) The procedures of this rule are limited to post judgment domestic relations cases. "Domestic relations case(s)" means dissolution of marriage, legal separation cases including post-judgment motions, filiation and interstate support proceedings. A contempt proceeding arising out of a domestic relations case is not covered by this rule.(2) An order to show cause will be allowed only upon the motion of a party supported by affidavit/declaration. The order to show cause will not contain a date for hearing. It will provide that the adverse party must file and serve a written response in opposition to the motion within thirty (30) days from the date of service of the order and affidavit, or within such additional time as allowed by the court upon a showing of good cause. The order must further state that if an opposing response is not filed and served within the thirty (30) days, the order requested by the motion and show cause order will be granted and entered by the court.(3) If the opposing party fails to file the opposing written response within the time allowed, the moving party must submit an order allowing the relief requested in the order to show cause. The court may require testimony of the moving party in such default matters. The court may, upon its own motion, enter the order requested if the opposing party does not file the required response or if the moving party fails to present the requisite order for signature.(4) If the opposing party files an opposing written response, either party may move for assignment of a hearing date. The party requesting assignment of a hearing date must serve a copy of the order setting the date on the other party. If either party fails to submit a motion requesting a hearing date the court may set a date on its own motion. The first paragraph of the motion requesting a hearing date must include an estimate of time required for argument and a statement whether official court reporting services are requested.(5) This rule is not intended to act as the procedure for orders requested pursuant to ORS 107.097(3), (4) and (5).Columbia Supp. L.
