OR Rev Stat § 419B.310 (through Leg Sess 2011) What's This?

(1) The hearing shall be held by the court without a jury and may be continued from time to time. During the hearing of a case filed pursuant to ORS 419B.100, the court, on its own motion or upon the motion of a party, may take testimony from any child appearing as a witness and may exclude the child s parents and other persons if the court finds such action would be likely to be in the best interests of the child. However, the court shall not exclude the attorney for each party and the testimony shall be reported.

(2) Stenographic notes or other report of the hearings shall be taken only when required by the court.

(3) The facts alleged in the petition showing the child to be within the jurisdiction of the court as provided in ORS 419B.100 (1), unless admitted, must be established by a preponderance of competent evidence. [1993 c.33 101; 1993 c.546 51; 2001 c.622 54]
