Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a divorce typically take in Oregon?
In Oregon, there is a mandatory 90-day waiting period after serving divorce papers. Uncontested divorces might be completed within 3-4 months, while contested divorces can take 6-12 months or longer.
How is child custody determined in Oregon?
Oregon courts determine custody based on the best interests of the child, considering factors such as the emotional ties between the child and family members, attitude of the parents, and the child's adjustment to home, school, and community.
What is the difference between legal and physical custody?
Legal custody refers to decision-making authority about the child's education, healthcare, and welfare. Physical custody determines where the child primarily lives and the parenting time schedule.
Do I need a lawyer for an uncontested divorce?
While not required, having a lawyer review your agreement is recommended to ensure your rights are protected and all necessary legal requirements are met, even in uncontested divorces.
