Filing:

When you use OnlineDivorce.com, we help you fill out your divorce paperwork using a simple online questionnaire. You can fill it out alone or with the assistance of your spouse. Then, you will need to get a signature from your spouse and you can file the divorce forms with your local court. In Oregon, you will typically file with the courthouse in the county in which you currently reside. If a petitioner is not currently a resident, but a defendant is, divorce is typically filed in the county where the defendant resides.

The actual filing process is explained in our detailed court-filing instructions that we provide along with your completed divorce forms. You can also obtain assistance from your local courthouse by calling or stopping by.

After the initial filing, you may need to follow up if there are any issues with your documents. When you use OnlineDivorce.com, we allow you to make small adjustments to your forms as requested by the court at no additional charge. Our goal is to help you obtain your divorce with as little hassle and stress as possible using our online divorce documents preparation service.

Residency:

Every state has specific requirements where divorcing couples must establish residency within the state they are divorcing. Oregon is no exception.

If the marriage was not performed in the state of Oregon, one of the spouses must have been a resident of the state for at least six months immediately prior to filing. If the marriage was performed in Oregon and one of the spouses is a resident, there is no duration requirement. The divorce can be filed in either of the counties where a spouse resides. There is a 90-day waiting period after the respondent has been served with papers but an affidavit signed by both parties can waive the waiting period. [Oregon Revised Statutes; Volume 2, Sections 107.065, and 107.075].

There are many ways to prove that residency has been established. The easiest way is if one or both spouses have a valid and in-date Oregon driver’s license, ID card or voter’s registration card which was issued at least six months before filing for divorce. If this is not the case, it may be possible to establish residency, by having someone who knows you or your spouse testify that you have lived in the state for at least six months. Additionally, it may be possible to use an Affidavit of Corroborating Witness form, and it should serve as proof you’ve lived in the state a minimum of six months.

Custody of the child in Oregon

Custody of the child

Joint custody, and particularly joint legal custody, is encouraged in the state of Oregon. Parents must provide a parenting plan prior to the divorce being finalized. Joint or sole custody will be determined based on the best interests of the children and these following factors:

  • Love and affection which exists between the child and other family members;
  • The feelings of the child;
  • The desirability of maintaining continuity in the child’s lifestyle;
  • Any domestic abuse;
  • The relationship of the child with parents, siblings, and other family members; and
  • The parent’s interests and attitudes towards the child.

The conduct, income, social envi­ronment, and general lifestyle of the guardian will only be considered if it would cause emotional or physical damage to the child. No preference is to be given because of parent’s gender. The final judgment must include insurance health benefits and mandatory statement. The court will not order joint custody if both parents do not agree to the terms of the custody. [Oregon Revised Statutes; Volume 2, Sections 107.102, 107.105, 107.106, 107.137, and 107.169.]

Rules for child support in Oregon

Either parent can be ordered to pay child support, based on these factors:

    • The credit worthiness of the spouses;
    • The parent’s history of earnings;
    • Necessities of each parent;
    • The overall needs of the child;
    • The comparative financial means of the parents, including their income, resources, and property;
    • The future estimated earnings of the parents;
    • The needs of other dependents of a parent;
    • Any social security or veteran’s benefits paid directly to the child; and
    • Other relevant factors.

There are official child support scales and formulas available from the state. The child support payments may be paid to the clerk of the court. There may be court orders issued for income withholding. All child support awards must also contain provisions for the payment of any uninsured medical care for the child and the payment of health insurance for the child. The court may also order the parent required to pay support to maintain life insurance coverage with the child as beneficiary. [Oregon Revised Statutes; Volume 2, Sections 25.275, 107.105, 107.106, and 107.820].

Rules for spousal support in Oregon

Rules for spousal support

Either spouse can be ordered to pay alimony to the other spouse, without regard to fault. Oregon recognizes three types of spousal support:

  • Transitional support - This is given to a spouse as he or she works to gain the education or training to reenter the job market or advance his or her job skills;
  • Compensatory support - This is considered to compensate a spouse who provided financial or other support to the education, career, or earning capacity of the other spouse; and
  • Standard support - An amount needed for one spouse to support the other for a specific or continuing period of time.

Property division in Oregon

Property division

One of the most challenging aspects of deciding to dissolve a marriage is determining how property (including the family home, if applicable) will be distributed. When a couple divorces in Oregon, they must distribute wealth in a fair, legally-mandated and agreeable manner. This can be a challenging proposition. When the couple can agree upon how to distribute property on their own, without involving the court, this leads to an uncontested divorce and speeds up matters making for a much smoother divorce.

Oregon is considered an “equitable distribution” state. All of the spouses’ property may be divided by the court. This can include any gifts, inheritances, and property which was acquired before the marriage. Regardless of whether the property is held jointly or individually, the court shall presume that both the spouses contributed to the acquisition of any property, unless proven otherwise. All property is divided, without regard to fault of the spouses, based on these factors:

  • The sale of assets;
  • Any taxes and liens on the property;
  • The contribution of the spouses to the acquisition of the marital property, including as a homemaker;
  • Pensions and retirement benefits, including social security, civil service, military and railroad retirement benefits;
  • Any life insurance coverage; and
  • Whether the property awarded i in addition to spousal support. [Oregon Revised Statutes; Volume 2, Sections 107.036 and 107.105].

When you begin the process of filling out your divorce questionnaire using OnlineDivorce.com, you’ll receive more information about property distribution and the steps you can take to make this process easier and less likely to cause conflict between the divorcing spouses. As always, the goal is to have an uncontested divorce so that you can file online and avoid taking your case to court--saving you time, money and stress.

Mediation support in Oregon

Either spouse or the court itself may delay the divorce proceedings for up to 45 days while a reconciliation or settlement is attempted.

[Oregon Revised Statutes; Volume 2, Sections 107.179, 107.540, and 107.550].
