Draw On Legal Oregon Website Forms For Free

In Oregon, the most common outcome is that each spouse pays for his or her own attorney unless there is bad faith by one side, or sometimes if there is a substantial difference in the parties' financial positions.

Interactive Online Forms Forms are available for multiple types of cases including restraining orders, evictions, set-asides, and family cases like divorce, parenting time, and modification of judgment.

Even more quick and cheap is the special Short-Form Summary Dissolution. This allows you to get divorced without requiring even a court appearance. In order to get a Short-Form Summary Dissolution, you must meet all the requirements: One or both spouses must have lived in Oregon for the past six months.

The summary dissolution forms and other self-help forms are intended to help get you a divorce without an attorney. But you have the right to be represented or helped by an attorney if you can obtain one. It may be helpful to see an attorney before you file the forms, to make sure you have filled them out correctly.

Examples of people who can serve papers: The sheriff in the county where the other party lives. There is a fee. If service is in Oregon, you can ask the court to waive or defer this fee. The sheriff may ask for proof your fees were waived.

The filing fee for each party in a divorce is $287, as of September 2019. The cost to serve your spouse usually starts at $40 and increases depending on the company you use and how difficult it is for them to find your spouse. There may be other filing fees depending on your specific circumstances.
