for kids to be heard in court . Like if they wan't to take something to court I need to know how old they have to be to be heard in court in oregon!
Answer:
If you're talking about going before a judge to tell the judge what they want to do with visitation to their other parent, they can talk to a judge at any time. However, the judge doesn't have to follow their wishes. The older the child is and the more convincing the argument, the more likely they are to be considered seriously. But in Oregon there is a very strong sentiment that it is in the child's best interest to visit with both parents on a regular basis, regardless of what kind of a situations they are exposed to. The court (IMO) seems to think that seeing and knowing both parents is paramount - very little else is more more important - except a physical danger to the child. Mental danger is much harder to prove.
Hire a lawyer and find out.
However, 18 typically. Minors generally have to sue through their parents as natural guardians or court appointed guardians ad litem.
Any age. They would need a lawyer to represent their interests.
