OREGON DIVORCE FORMS

Our Oregon divorce form services are for people who wish to divorce amicably without the emotional pain and expense of a long court battle. Our goal is to make the process as simple for you as possible. We charge a flat fee of $125.00 for the complete preparation of your uncontested divorce documents. Our fee does not increase regardless of whether you have children or property involved.

You, or your spouse, must have been an Oregon resident for the immediate past six months in order to file for divorce in Oregon. Your divorce can either be set up as "co-petition", where both parties will sign the papers, or as "sole-petition" where one party files and the other party is "served" copies of the documents. It normally takes about 90 days from the time you file your paperwork with the court until your divorce is final. In some cases the court may agree to shorten or waive the waiting period.

If your spouse has not resided in Oregon within the past year and you wish to collect child support or spousal support you should consult an attorney to find out if Oregon has jurisdiction to order support payments. Likewise, if you have children or property that are not located in Oregon you must find out from an attorney if Oregon has jurisdiction over these matters.

If you have minor children from this marriage the court requires you to attend the court's "parenting classes" after you file for divorce.

There are state guidelines regarding child support. Even if you and your spouse agree to a different amount, the court can order child support consistent with the state child support guidelines. We will be happy to compute the child support amount shown by the state guidelines as part of our service to you. If you would like to see how the state support guidelines work, armed with the following information you can easily have child support computed at the  website listed below: Gross monthly income for you and your spouse, the cost of health insurance for the children and the cost of day care for the children:  http://dcs.state.or.us/calculator.
