Oregon Divorce and Dissolution Resources

FamilyCourtHelp is an independent educational platform. It is not a court, law firm, government agency, or government partner. We organize and link to publicly available resources published by courts and government agencies. Official requirements may change. Always confirm current requirements with the applicable court or clerk.

A Oregon divorce is filed in the Circuit Court, usually in the Family Law, and the paperwork you start with depends on whether you have minor children together and whether there is property to divide.

Oregon's core family statutes live in the Oregon Revised Statutes Chapter 107 - Dissolution of Marriage. In Oregon, a parent without a lawyer can file family papers online, and filing on paper with the clerk is still allowed. The official sources below cover the petition documents, the statewide forms collection, and the court's own filing instructions.
