Status: in_force

(1) A homestead shall be exempt from sale on execution, from the lien of every judgment and from liability in any form for the debts of the owner to the amount in value of $40,000, except as otherwise provided by law. The exemption shall be effective without the necessity of a claim thereof by the judgment debtor. When two or more members of a household are debtors whose interests in the homestead are subject to sale on execution, the lien of a judgment or liability in any form, their combined exemptions under this section shall not exceed $50,000. The homestead must be the actual abode of and occupied by the owner, or the owner’s spouse, parent or child, but the exemption shall not be impaired by:

(a) Temporary removal or temporary absence with the intention to reoccupy the same as a homestead;

(b) Removal or absence from the property; or

(c) The sale of the property.

(2) The exemption shall extend to the proceeds derived from such sale to an amount not exceeding $40,000 or $50,000, whichever amount is applicable under subsection (1) of this section, if the proceeds are held for a period not exceeding one year and held with the intention to procure another homestead therewith.

(3) The exemption period under subsection (1)(b) and (c) of this section shall be one year from the removal, absence or sale, whichever occurs first.

(4) When the owner of a homestead has been granted a discharge in bankruptcy or has conveyed the homestead property, the value thereof, for the purpose of determining a leviable interest in excess of the homestead exemption, shall be the value on the date of the petition in bankruptcy, whether the value is determined in the bankruptcy proceedings or not, or on the date the conveyance becomes effective, whichever shall first occur. However, with respect to judgments not discharged in the bankruptcy, or entered against the owner after discharge, the value on the effective date of conveyance shall be controlling.

(5) Except as provided in subsection (7) of this section, no homestead that is the actual abode of and occupied by the judgment debtor, or that is the actual abode of and occupied by a spouse, dependent parent or dependent child of the judgment debtor, shall be sold on execution to satisfy a judgment that at the time of entry does not exceed $3,000. However, such judgment shall remain a lien upon the real property, and the property may be sold on execution:

(a) At any time after the sale of the property by the judgment debtor; and

(b) At any time after the property is no longer the actual abode of and occupied by the judgment debtor or the spouse, dependent parent or dependent child of the judgment debtor.

(6) The limitation on execution sales imposed by subsection (5) of this section is not impaired by temporary removal or temporary absence with the intention to reoccupy the property as a homestead.

(7) The limitation on execution sales imposed by subsection (5) of this section does not apply if two or more judgments are owing to a single judgment creditor and the total amount owing to the judgment creditor, determined by adding the amount of each individual judgment as of the date the judgment was entered, is greater than $3,000.

(8) Upon the issuance of an order authorizing sale as required by ORS 18.904 (Order required for sale of residential property) , and in conformance with subsection (5) of this section, the sheriff may proceed to sell the property. If the homestead exemption applies, the sheriff shall pay the homestead owner out of the proceeds the sum of $40,000 or $50,000, whichever is applicable, and apply the balance of the proceeds on the execution. However, no sale shall be made where the homestead exemption applies unless the sum bid for the homestead is in excess of the sum of the costs of sale and $40,000 or $50,000, whichever is applicable. If no such bid is received, the expense of the sale shall be borne by the petitioner.

(9) The homestead exemption provided by this section applies to a purchaser’s interest under a land sale contract, as defined by ORS 18.960 (Definitions) .

(10) The homestead exemption provided by this section applies to:

(a) A floating home, as defined by ORS 830.700 (Definitions for ORS 830.060 to 830.140 and 830.700 to 830.870) ; and

(7) Nothing in this section limits the right of a plaintiff to recover moneys described in this section or other moneys in any manner otherwise allowed by law.

(1) The administrator may establish paternity of a child in the course of a support proceeding under ORS 25.501 (Definitions for ORS 25.501 to 25.556) to 25.556 (Expeditious court hearings) when both parents sign statements that paternity has not been legally established and that the male parent is the father of the child. The administrator may enter an order which establishes paternity.

(2) If the parent fails to file a response denying paternity and requesting a hearing within the time period allowed in ORS 25.511 (Notice and finding of financial responsibility) (2), then the administrator, without further notice to the parent, may enter an order, in accordance with ORS 25.511 (Notice and finding of financial responsibility) (7), which declares and establishes the parent as the legal father of the child.

(3) Any order entered pursuant to subsection (1) or (2) of this section establishes legal paternity for all purposes. The Center for Health Statistics of the Oregon Health Authority shall amend the record of live birth for the child and issue a new certified copy of the record of live birth in the new name, if any, of the child. The original record of live birth shall be sealed and filed and may be opened only upon order of a court of competent jurisdiction.

(4) Intentionally left blank —Ed.

(a) If paternity is alleged under ORS 25.511 (Notice and finding of financial responsibility) (3) and a written response denying paternity and requesting a hearing is received within the time period allowed in ORS 25.511 (Notice and finding of financial responsibility) (2), or if the administrator determines that there is a valid issue with respect to paternity of the child, the administrator, subject to the provisions of subsections (5) and (6) of this section, shall certify the matter to the circuit court for a determination based upon the contents of the file and any evidence which may be produced at trial. The proceedings in court shall for all purposes be deemed suits in equity. The provisions of ORS 109.145 (Court may proceed despite failure to appear) to 109.230 (Legality of contract between mother and father of child born out of wedlock) apply to proceedings certified to court by the administrator pursuant to this section.

(b) Any response denying paternity and requesting a hearing shall be sent by the enforcement office to the obligee by regular mail.

(5) An action to establish paternity initiated under ORS 25.501 (Definitions for ORS 25.501 to 25.556) to 25.556 (Expeditious court hearings) shall not be certified to court for trial unless all of the following have occurred:

(b) The results of the blood tests have been served upon the parties and notice has been given that an order establishing paternity will be entered unless a written objection is received within 30 days; and

(c) A written objection to the entry of an order has been timely received from a party.

(6) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (5) of this section, the administrator:

(B) When a party requests certification in writing after the administrator has received a party’s written denial of paternity if at least 120 days have elapsed from receipt of the denial; or

(C) Upon receipt of blood test results with a cumulative paternity index of less than 99; and

(b) May certify the matter to court at any time under any other circumstances.

(7) If the blood tests conducted under ORS 109.250 (Short title) to 109.262 (Uniformity of interpretation) result in a cumulative paternity index of 99 or greater, evidence of the tests, together with the testimony of the parent, shall be a sufficient basis upon which to establish paternity and the administrator may enter an order declaring the alleged father as the legal father of the child unless a party objects in writing to the entry of the order. The testimony of the parent may be presented by affidavit.

(8) Prior to certification to court, the administrator may attempt to resolve the issue of paternity by discovery conducted under the Oregon Rules of Civil Procedure. Unless otherwise specifically provided by statute, the proceedings shall be conducted under the Oregon Rules of Civil Procedure.

(9) When, in accordance with subsection (6)(a)(A) of this section, a party objects to the entry of an order and the blood tests conducted under ORS 109.250 (Short title) to 109.262 (Uniformity of interpretation) result in a cumulative paternity index of 99 or greater, notwithstanding the party’s objection, evidence of the tests, together with the testimony of a parent, is a sufficient basis upon which to presume paternity for purposes of establishing temporary support under this section. The court shall, upon motion of any party, enter a temporary order requiring the alleged father to provide support pending the determination of parentage by the court. In determining the amount of support, the court shall use the formula established under ORS 25.275 (Formula for determining child support awards) . [Formerly 416.430]
