SLR 23-11.005: APPEARANCES IN JUVENILE COURT DEPENDENCY CASES

(1) A parent served with a summons in a child dependency case shall appear personally in court at the time and place specified in the summons for a hearing on the allegations of the petition. (2) A parent who fails to appear shall be subject to entry of a default order and/or judgment upon a prima facie showing granting the relief sought by the petitioner. “Failing to appear” includes being served with a summons and failing to appear in court at the time designated to appear, and failing to appear subsequent to that date for any court appearance where the parent was previously ordered to appear in open court. (3) This rule applies both to petitions filed pursuant to ORS 419B.100 (dependency petitions), ORS 419B.498 (termination of parental rights) and any guardianship proceedings initiated pursuant to any of the provisions of ORS 419B.
