Clackamas Supp. L. R. SLR 9.231

As amended through June 11, 2024
Rule SLR 9.231 - ADOPTION PROCEDURE; NAME CHANGES IN ADULT ADOPTIONS

All ORS 109.329 petitions for adoption of a person who is eighteen (18) years of age or older that include a request for a name change shall be subject to a criminal background check and a credit history check on the person to be adopted. This will enable the court to ascertain whether the adoption could purposely or inadvertently defraud creditors or subvert the collection of restitution payments owed to victims.

This requirement is not satisfied by a declaration disclaiming those circumstances. If no name change is requested as part of the petition, then this procedure does not apply.
