How
long before my papers are served?
It depends on the type of papers , the current volume of active papers
the Civil Deputies are working on, and the accuracy of information
provided. We will make attempt(s) until the papers are served, or until
we can show the person is not serviceable, or the date on the paper(s)
expires.
Will
I be refunded any money if my papers are not served?
No. Fees are paid to the Sheriff’s Office for processing paperwork and
attempting service. In almost all instances several attempts are made
if the person to be served is not contacted on the first attempt.
How
will I be notified when my papers are served?
For most type of paperwork, we will mail out a copy of the return of
service to you. You call our office to find out status, however because
papers may still be active in the field with a Deputy, we might not be
able to provide the most current status over the phone.
Where
do I
obtain a Restraining Order?
Restraining Orders are obtained through Circuit Courts. The phone
number for Umatilla County Circuit Court is (541) 278-0341.
How
do I
qualify for a Restraining Order and what are the criteria?
This
information can be obtained by calling the court.
When
will my
Restraining Order be served?
Restraining Orders are the first priority
in service documents at the Umatilla County Sheriff’s Office. However
it may take anywhere from one day to several weeks to serve a
respondent depending on how good the information is, the availability
of a deputy and whether or not the respondent is avoiding service.
Will
I be notified if my Restraining Order is served?
If your contact number
or a message phone is provided, our deputy will call to notify you once
the restraining order has been served. A message will be left if no one
answers and voice mail is available. We are unable to continue calling
if unable to reach you with the first attempt. You can also call our
office to check status.
I
don’t qualify for a restraining order, can I
get a stalking order?
If you do not meet the criteria for a restraining
order, you may be able to obtain a stalking protective order.
“Stalking” is defined in Oregon Revised Statutes (ORS) 163.730 to
163.732. Keywords in the definition are “repeated” and “unwanted
contact”. “Repeated” means two or more times. If you believe you are a
victim of a stalking and you would like to see if you could obtain a
stalking protective order, contact the law enforcement agency where the
stalking is taking place, or contact the Umatilla County Courthouse.
