FAQ
Once the papers have been filed with the court, the question, "How long does an uncontested divorce take?" is completely out of the parties' hands. The amount of time it will take to finalize the divorce by having a judge approve and sign the judgment can take anywhere from six weeks to 12 months.
A contested divorce can cause the divorce to enter into litigation because spouses will need to have decisions made for them by a judge. Since they are not able to decide on marital issues for their family, a judge will have to do so in court.
In a no-fault uncontested divorce, you will be avoiding a trial. Your divorce can also be a no-fault contested divorce, which is where you and your spouse cannot agree to the divorce terms.
Divorce in Oregon usually takes less than 2 weeks from the filing of the Co-Petition or 5-6 weeks from the time the spouse is served in a Single Petition Divorce. At the end of the 2-6 week period, a Judge will sign the Divorce Decree and you will be sent a copy. We provide the waiver for any applicable waiting period.
Because there is no longer a mandatory waiting period in Oregon, it is possible to end your marriage within days of filing. In a traditional divorce, if your spouse doesn't submit an acceptance of service, you'll have to wait up to 30 days for your spouse to answer your petition.
The filing fee for each party in a divorce is $287, as of September 2019. The cost to serve your spouse usually starts at $40 and increases depending on the company you use and how difficult it is for them to find your spouse. There may be other filing fees depending on your specific circumstances.
Can uncontested divorces be reversed? Divorces cannot generally be reversed after that the judge has already signed off and finalized everything.If it was an uncontested divorce, it will be easier for the parties to come together and agree on what needs to be changed.
Does it make a difference who files for divorce first in Oregon?The person who files for divorce first is called the Petitioner. This is because the original filing is called a petition. The party who responds to the petition is called the Respondent. There is absolutely no legal significance in who files first.
