"Findings" vs "Judgment"

My question involves a child custody case from the State of: Oregon

I have a question regarding what "findings" are in a supplemental judgment. In the "findings" it is stated that it is in the children's best interest to stay near both parents in the state that we live in.

Later, in the actual judgment, it states that the custodial parent's residence must stay within 60 miles of the non-custodial parent... but says nothing about remaining in the state. Since we are within about 5 miles of a state line, are we able to move into a residence that is in the next state over (as it is well within the 60 mile limitation) or must we stay within the state lines that we are in (because the "findings" state it would be best for the children to stay within the state we live)?

I guess ultimately the question is... Are the "findings" part of the actual judgment/rules that we must follow? Or are they more of opinion? Are "findings" binding rules that we have to follow?

Thank you!

Findings of fact are used to support conclusions of law, which in turn underlie what the court orders.

If you are confused about what the court ordered you to do, you should have the court's order reviewed by a lawyer in your state. We cannot interpret an order that we have never seen.
