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 may have picked up the packet of
divorce forms from your county courthouse with the intention of
preparing the divorce documents yourself. You may have quickly
become overwhelmed when you realized you were required to complete
approximately 12 documents in order to complete the divorce process.
We take the pressure off by completing all of the required forms for
you. All you will need to do then is sign the divorce
paperwork and file it with your county courthouse.
Basic Information about the Oregon Divorce Process
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.
Your divorce can be completed without attending a hearing as
long as your divorce is uncontested We will provide you with
the required affidavit to file with the court so that you will
not have to appear for a hearing in order to finalize your divorce.
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:
