In re the Custody of C. B.

This is an appeal in an action under ORS 109.119 for visitation with two minor children that petitioners filed based on an alleged “child-parent” relationship. The trial court concluded that, although petitioners had not established a child-parent relationship with the children under ORS 109.119(10)(a), they had established a qualifying “ongoing personal relationship” with them under subsection (10)(e). After determining that all pertinent statutory criteria had been established, the trial court awarded petitioners visitation with the children. We reverse.

The material facts are undisputed.…
