Focus on More Important Things Than Confusing Divorce Paperwork and Endless Court Rules.
Once you and your spouse have made the difficult decision to divorce, you have another decision to make: how to get your divorce paperwork completed.
Attorneys charge thousands of dollars for even the most basic uncontested divorce. Doing your own uncontested divorce paperwork means hours of research through hundreds of pages of court rules and statutes, and sorting through divorce papers with names like IFP-32-90 and CV-036 that sound more like the latest high-tech gadget than a way to end your marriage.

What Do I Need to Know About Filing Divorce in Oregon with Help Yourself Divorce?
Our service is intended for people who agree on the terms of the divorce, are both willing to sign the papers, and meet the following requirements:
Grounds for Divorce.
When Help Yourself Divorce prepares your divorce papers, your divorce will be filed based on the grounds of irreconcilable differences ("no-fault" divorce).
Residency Requirements.
If you and your spouse were married in the state of Oregon, the only residency requirement is that at least one party resides in Oregon at the time you file for divorce.However, if you and your spouse were not married in the state of Oregon, at least one party must reside in Oregon for a continuous period of six months before filing for divorce.
If you and your spouse have minor children, the court must have jurisdiction over them. Generally this means your children must currently live in Oregon, and must have lived in Oregon for at least six months.
Filing for Divorce.
A petition for divorce can be filed only in the county where either of the spouses reside.
Service.
In Oregon, you file as joint petitioners. This means that you do not need to serve your spouse. You simply both sign the petition and one spouse files it with the Court.
Waiting Period.
There is a 90 day waiting period after filing before your divorce can be finalized. However, Oregon allows you to file an affidavit requesting that the Court waive that 90 day waiting period. Help Yourself Divorce will provide you with the necessary paperwork to use if you wish to do this. What this means for you is that if you do not wish to wait 90 days, you can simply file this paperwork and if the court allows, your divorce will be granted much sooner (typically about 15 days).
Final Divorce Hearing.
Oregon does not require a final hearing. The judge will review your paperwork and mail your decree back to you about 15 days after filing (or 105 days if you don't ask the Court to waive the 90 day waiting period, see above).
If you have any questions about whether our service is right for you, please don't hesitate to contact us.
