Key Oregon Statutes
Oregon’s Family Abuse Prevention Act governs who may seek a restraining order, what abuse qualifies, and what relief a court may grant in domestic-violence cases.
Oregon courts may issue no-contact and protective relief in qualifying family-abuse cases, and firearms consequences can follow depending on the order and federal law interaction.
