How to File for Divorce in Oregon?

Follow these steps to put an end to your marriage in Oregon:

1. Fill out a petition to dissolve the marriage - select the appropriate form (one of them is for spouses that had children in the marriage) . You will also have to disclose your assets and debts, provide your personal details, and draft a summons since this is a family law matter. Parents with kids also need to create a written plan to raise their children and help them out financially.
2. Submit the documentation to the county court (you or your partner must live there for at least half a year) . The clerk will request a filing fee after which you may notify the other spouse about the initiated divorce process. To do it, send them copies of the documents you have filed with the court - do it yourself, ask a third party to assist you, or hire a professional server. The recipient will have a month to prepare an answer to your petition and submit it to the court - if you are communicating with them, an Oregon Divorce Agreement will allow you to determine a fair way to resolve the existing issues.
3. Depending on whether one of the spouses decides to dispute the conditions of the divorce or not, there will be a hearing - the judge will listen to the couple to clarify any concerns they may have after reviewing the documentation and issue a dissolution of marriage judgment meaning the two people in question are no longer married. If the spouses have managed to reach an understanding in every crucial matter, they will not have to attend a hearing - the judge will sign the judgment after the clerk presents all the paperwork to them.
