order may, in accordance with ORCP 27 A, file a motion for intervention with the court
having jurisdiction over the parenting time order and move the court to suspend or termi-
nate the parenting time order.
(2) The court may suspend or terminate a parent’s parenting time with the child if the
court finds, after a hearing described in subsection (3) of this section, that:
(a) The Department of Human Services has substantiated an allegation of abuse against
the child’s parent; and
(b) The court determines that suspension or termination of the parent’s parenting time

caseworker familiar with the substantiated allegation of abuse against the parent; and
(B) The court may, on its own motion or on the motion of the child, take testimony from
or confer with the child or other children in the child’s household and may exclude from the
conference the child’s parents or other persons if the court determines that such action

child, and the conference shall be reported.
(4) If the court has suspended or terminated a parent’s parenting time with a child for
