I'm actually residing in Jefferson Co since Oct 2020, I divorced in Umatilla Co in Nov 2020. I'm a domestic violence victim and so my 2 infant children. there has been 2 DHS cases opened because of presumptive child abuse, opened the first time by a report made by my children's Doctor and a second one more recently after divorce by my daughter's school. DHS hasn't taken any important action to help my children. The judge from Umatilla co didn't want to hear anything related to the domestic violence or child abuse, I didn't even presented my case and I was forced to reach an agreement during my trial, I ended with legal custody and father with parenting plan. My oldest daughter has been recently diagnosed with PTSD and she goes to therapy once a week, 2 weeks ago my son came back from his father's house with more concerning injuries. Can I start the process for immediate danger here in Jefferson co or do I need to ask Umatilla judge for change of venue, Either party lives there anymore and no matters pending in Umatilla Co.
