About the Child Advocacy and Protection Division

Child Advocacy and Protection Division attorneys and support team members work out of offices in Portland, Salem, Eugene, Medford, Bend, and Pendleton. Attorneys regularly appear in juvenile and circuit court hearings and trials in all 36 Oregon counties to achieve permanency for children. If reunification of a child with a parent or guardian is not safe or legally possible, division attorneys provide litigation services to ODHS Child Welfare to help achieve safe and permanent placements, including guardianship, legally freeing children for adoption subsequent to termination of parental rights, and other appropriate alternatives.

In addition to daily court representation, a smaller number of CAPD attorneys provide legal advice and representation in administrative proceedings related to foster care home certification and licensing matters. Attorney supervisors and managers also provide legal advice to the ODHS Child Welfare Director and program leadership on statewide issues, legislation, legal sufficiency rule review, court issues, system partner collaboration, and other legal matters.
