Overview

Dissolution of marriage in Oregon: the co-petition route

Oregon stripped its timeline down to almost nothing: the waiting period was eliminated in 2011, so the pace is set entirely by the courts’ calendar. Residency has the same two-tier structure — a couple married in Oregon needs only current residence with no minimum duration, while a couple married elsewhere must have one spouse living in the state continuously for six months under ORS 107.075.

The ground is a single no-fault one: irreconcilable differences under ORS 107.025, where one spouse’s sincere belief that the marriage cannot be saved is legally sufficient. Oregon also offers a joint route most states lack — a Co-Party Petition filed by both spouses together, which replaces the separate summons and petition, skips service of process entirely, and costs a single filing fee. The standard route uses a Summons Family Law Case and a Petition for Dissolution of Marriage, each spouse completing a Confidential Information Form.

Property is divided equitably, spousal support is called spousal support, and child support follows the Oregon Child Support Guidelines. Custody runs through a parenting plan under the best interests standard. The filing fee is $301, and an uncontested case can finalize in four to eight weeks.
