Oregon divorce and custody, explained step by step
How no-fault dissolution works, how property is divided, how parenting plans and custody are decided, and how child and spousal support are set in Oregon.
ABOUT THIS BOOK
Ending a marriage or sorting out custody brings a flood of forms, deadlines, and unfamiliar terms, often at the hardest possible time.
The Oregon Family Law Guide explains dissolution of marriage, custody, and support under Chapter 107 of the Oregon Revised Statutes. It covers Oregon's pure no-fault ground of irreconcilable differences (ORS 107.025), the six-month residency rule, and why Oregon does not recognize common law marriage. It explains equitable property division and the presumption that both spouses contributed equally to property acquired during the marriage.
The guide walks through a case from two points of view, the spouse or parent who files and the co-parent or other spouse who responds. It explains the petition and response, the Uniform Support Declaration, parenting plans under ORS 107.102, the best-interest factors in ORS 107.137, why joint legal custody requires both parents' agreement, mediation in disputed custody cases, the child support guidelines, and the three types of spousal support. It also covers status quo orders, enforcement of parenting time, modification, cases between unmarried parents, and reopening a judgment over hidden assets.
A toolkit adds checklists, comparison tables, a glossary, common mistakes, and questions to ask an attorney.

QUESTIONS BEFORE YOU BUY
Oregon divorce requirements: what to know before you order.
Straight answers about what the guide is, what it covers and how it reaches you.
Can an Oregon court order joint legal custody if one parent objects?
No. Under ORS 107.169, a court can order joint legal custody only if both parents agree. Otherwise it awards sole legal custody based on the child's best interests. The guide explains the factors.
How long must someone live in Oregon before filing for divorce?
Generally, at least one spouse must have lived in Oregon for six months before filing (ORS 107.075). The guide explains residency, filing, and service on the other spouse.
Is this legal advice?
No. It is legal information in plain language, cited to the law, so you understand your options and know what to ask. Reading it creates no attorney-client relationship.
Is it written for Oregon?
Yes. This guide is written for Oregon law and cites the Oregon statutes and rules it relies on. If your case is in another state, choose that state's edition.
