State Ex Rel. Torres v. Mason
Oregon Supreme Court
Decided February 19, 1993No. SC S39372PublishedCited by 7 opinions
1Opinion of the CourtPeterson, J.
The questions presented in this mandamus proceeding are whether Oregon’s Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction Act (UCCJA), ORS 109.700 to 109.930, 1 applies to adoption proceedings and, if so, whether that Act confers jurisdiction on an Oregon court under the facts of this case. We conclude that the UCCJA applies to adoption proceedings but that, in this instance, it does not confer jurisdiction on an Oregon court. Accordingly, we order that a peremptory writ of mandamus shall issue, directing the trial court judge to dismiss this adoption proceeding.
