In Oregon, a divorce is also called a “dissolution of marriage.”  In order to file for divorce in Oregon, either you or your spouse must meet the residency requirements.  For a party to file for a dissolution of marriage in Oregon, one of the following criteria must be met:  (1) the marriage took place in the state and either party must be a resident of or domiciled in the state, or (2) at least one party must be a resident of or be domiciled in the state at the time the suit is commenced and continuously for a period of six months thereto.  It is possible for you to obtain a legal separation in Oregon prior to obtaining six months residency and then convert that to a divorce once you have lived there for six months.  You must file for divorce with the circuit court clerk’s office in the county in which you or your spouse currently live.  Oregon is a “no-fault” divorce state meaning that the courts do not recognize or consider any fault in making rulings regarding a divorce.  As a result, if your spouse is unfaithful, you cannot file for divorce on the grounds of adultery and hope that you will get a better settlement.  Your divorce will still be based on “irreconcilable differences.”
