Multnomah Supp. L. R. 11.047
All persons anticipating appointment as a guardian for a child or ward under the dependency jurisdiction of the court must successfully complete an education class utilizing a curriculum prescribed by the Presiding Judge of Multnomah County prior to an Order of Guardianship being entered by the Juvenile Court. The court approving a plan of guardianship will provide to the potential guardian, or to DHS if the guardian is not present or identified at that permanency hearing, notice and instructions of this requirement. Fees for this class are subsidized by DHS and not paid by the potential guardian. The potential guardian shall provide to DHS a certificate of completion of this class, which certificate DHS shall file with the court as part of the DHS court report. The court may defer or waive the requirement to complete the class when necessary to avoid delaying permanency for a child or for other compelling reason.
