Oregon Summons Family Law Cases are legal proceedings involving matters related to family law. These cases can involve issues such as divorce, child custody, child support, adoption, domestic violence, and spousal support. There are three types of Oregon Summons Family Law Cases: dissolution of marriage, legal separation, and domestic partnership. In a dissolution of marriage case, the parties are seeking to end their marriage. In a legal separation case, the parties are seeking to separate their assets and financial responsibilities, without ending the marriage. In a domestic partnership case, the parties are seeking to establish a legally recognized relationship between two unmarried individuals. All of these types of cases require the filing of a Summons and Petition in the Circuit Court of the county in which the parties reside.
