However, if the respondent contests the order granting temporary child custody to the petitioner, the court shall hold the hearing within five days after the request.

      (2)(a) If the court determines under ORS 107.718 (2) that exceptional circumstances exist that affect the custody of a child, the court shall hold a hearing within 14 days after issuance of the restraining order. The clerk of the court shall provide a notice of the hearing along with the petition and order to the petitioner and, in accordance with ORS 107.718 (8), to the county sheriff for service on the respondent.

      (b) The respondent may request an earlier hearing, to be held within five days after the request. The hearing request form shall be available from the clerk of the court in the form prescribed by the State Court Administrator under ORS 107.718 (7). If the respondent requests an earlier hearing, the clerk of the court shall notify the parties of the scheduled hearing date by mailing a notice of the time and place of hearing to the addresses provided in the petition or, for the respondent, to the address provided in the request for hearing, or as otherwise designated by a party.

      (c) When the court schedules a hearing under this subsection, the respondent may not request a hearing under ORS 107.718 (10).

      (3) In a hearing held pursuant to subsection (1) or (2) of this section:

      (a) The court may continue any order issued under ORS 107.718 if the court finds that:

      (A) Abuse has occurred within the period specified in ORS 107.710 (1);

      (B) The petitioner reasonably fears for the petitioner’s physical safety; and

      (C) The respondent represents a credible threat to the physical safety of the petitioner or the petitioner’s child.

      (b) The court may cancel or change any order issued under ORS 107.718 and may assess against either party a reasonable attorney fee and such costs as may be incurred in the proceeding.

      (4)(a) If service of a notice of hearing is inadequate to provide a party with sufficient notice of the hearing held pursuant to ORS 107.718 (2) or (10), the court may extend the date of the hearing for up to five days so that the party may seek representation.

      (b) If one party is represented by an attorney at a hearing held pursuant to ORS 107.718 (2) or (10), the court may extend the date of the hearing for up to five days at the other party’s request so that the other party may seek representation.

      (5) If the court continues the order, with or without changes, at a hearing about which the respondent received actual notice and the opportunity to participate, the court shall include in the order a certificate in substantially the following form in a separate section immediately above the signature of the judge:

______________________________________________________________________________

However, the court may not approve a term in a consent agreement that provides for restraint of a party to the agreement unless the other party petitioned for and was granted an order under ORS 107.710. An order or consent agreement made under this section may be amended at any time and shall continue in effect for a period of two years from the date of the order issued under ORS 107.718, or until superseded as provided in ORS 107.722.
