Oregon Residency Requirements
If the marriage took place in Oregon and one spouse is a resident of Oregon, then there is no residency time limit. If the marriage was not performed in Oregon, then one spouse must have been a resident of Oregon for six months before filing.
Grounds for Divorce In Oregon
The following are some of the grounds for divorce in Oregon:
- irreconcilable differences between the spouses which have caused the irretrievable breakdown of the marriage;
- consent to marriage was obtained by fraud, duress, or force;
- minor married without lawful consent.
Fault may be considered where child custody is an issue.
Oregon Child Custody
In any divorce proceeding in which the custody of minor children is involved, the parents will be required to develop and file with the court a "parenting plan" outlining how parental responsibilities and parenting time is to be shared. Joint legal custody affords each of the parents to be actively involved in making the important decisions concerning their child's development. The court will approve the decisions made by parents concerning their child's custodial arrangement, so long as those decisions appear to be in the child's best interest.
Child Support
Oregon has adopted child support guidelines which apply in virtually every case, unless special circumstances are present. The child support calculation takes into consideration the gross income of both parties, and certain child related expenses. Child support will continue until the child reaches the age of majority, and may be extended through his or her secondary education.
Venue
A divorce proceeding shall commence and be tried in the county in which one of the parties resides.
Mediation
In a divorce action in which it appears that custody, parenting time or visitation of a child are contested, the court shall refer the matter for mediation of the contested issues prior to or concurrent with the setting of the matter for hearing.
Further, the parties may agree to submit any or all of their disputed issues to mediation, before or after a divorce is initiated. The agreements reached in mediation may allow the parties to proceed in court on an uncontested basis.
