Prepare Legal Oregon Annulment Forms For Free

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.

In Oregon, a marriage of less than 10 years is considered a short-term marriage, and a marriage of more than 10 years is considered a long-term marriage. This label does not necessarily have any impacts on your divorce settlement.

If you can agree on all the issues between you, then you can get an uncontested divorce. These are generally quicker and less expensive. Even more quick and cheap is the special Short-Form Summary Dissolution. This allows you to get divorced without requiring even a court appearance.

What are the legal reasons for an annulment? ?A marriage may be annulled when a party was incapable of entering into or consenting to marriage because he or she was not of legal age or lacked sufficient understanding or a party's consent to the marriage was obtained by force or fraud.

Unlike a void marriage, a voidable marriage requires a party to ask the court to annul the marriage based upon the alleged fraud, force, or circumstance which waived consent. This will result in a hearing whereby a judge will hear evidence to determine whether the statutory requirements of ORS 106.030 have been met.

Will it take me long to get a divorce? An uncontested divorce (where you and your spouse agree about the terms of the divorce) can be final about three months after the divorce petition is filed and delivered to your spouse. You may be able to reduce this time if the judge thinks you have a very good reason.
