2025 c.592 §5

(1) In a proceeding to adjudicate the parentage of a child, other than a proceeding under ORS chapter 419B, the child is a permissive party to the proceeding if the child has not attained 18 years of age.

(2) The court shall appoint an attorney to represent a child who has not attained 18 years of age in a proceeding described in subsection (1) of this section if requested by the child or, if the court finds that the interests of the child are not adequately represented, on the court’s own motion or on the motion of a party. A reasonable fee for an attorney so appointed under this paragraph may be charged against one or more of the parties or as a cost in the proceedings, but may not be charged against funds appropriated for public defense services.
