Oregon Divorce Forms — Which Ones You Need and Where to Get Them

Oregon provides every divorce form for free through the Oregon Judicial Department website, but the forms alone don't tell you which ones apply to your case, what order to file them, or how to fill in the sections that trip up most self-represented filers. Here's the breakdown by case type.

Forms Every Oregon Divorce Requires

Regardless of how you file, every dissolution case in Oregon needs these core documents:

• Petition for Dissolution of Marriage — the document that opens your case, listing the date of marriage, residency, grounds (irreconcilable differences — Oregon is no-fault only), and what you're asking for regarding property, debt, support, and children
• Confidential Information Form (CIF) — UTCR Form 2.130.1, where you put Social Security numbers, dates of birth, driver's license numbers, and employer info. This stays sealed from public view
• Notice of Filing of CIF — UTCR Form 2.130.2, served on the other party instead of the actual CIF
• Record of Dissolution, Annulment, or Registered Domestic Partnership — required for Oregon vital statistics
• General Judgment of Dissolution of Marriage — the final order that the judge signs to legally end the marriage

Additional Forms by Filing Path

Sole petitioner (one spouse files):

• Summons — notifies your spouse they have 30 days to respond
• Proof of Service or Certificate of Service — confirms your spouse was properly served under ORCP 7

Co-petitioner (both spouses file jointly):

• Co-Party Petition for Entry of Stipulated Judgment — replaces both the standard petition and summons
• Co-Party General Judgment — the joint version of the final order

The co-petitioner path eliminates the need for a summons, process server, and separate response fee. Both spouses pay one $301 filing fee total.

Forms for Cases With Children

If you have children under 18, or unmarried children ages 18-20 who are attending school, you need additional paperwork:

• Proposed Parenting Plan — required under ORS 107.102, covering custody, parenting time schedules, and decision-making authority
• Child Support Calculation Worksheets — Division of Child Support guidelines worksheets
• Certificate of Parent Education Class Completion — both parents must complete a court-approved parenting class; the judge won't sign the final judgment without these certificates

For adult children ages 18-20 who attend school at least half-time, they're legally "necessary parties" under ORS 107.108. They must be named in the case caption, served with all documents, and sign the proposed judgment (or file a waiver of further appearance).

Forms for Support and Financial Cases

• Uniform Support Declaration (USD) — UTCR Form 8.010, required whenever spousal support or a deviation from standard child support guidelines is requested
• USD Supplement — additional financial detail when seeking non-standard support
• Income verification — four consecutive pay stubs and last year's tax returns must be attached

Fee Waiver Forms

If you can't afford the $301 filing fee, download the Application, Declaration, and Order for Waiver or Deferral of Fees from the OJD forms portal. Co-petitioners must each file separate applications since the court evaluates both spouses' finances individually.

Where to Get the Forms

All official forms are free at courts.oregon.gov under the Family Law section. You can also use the state's interactive Guide & File tool, which asks you questions and generates pre-filled forms based on your answers.

Forms can be filed in person at your county Circuit Court, or electronically through OJD eFile.

The Gap Between Forms and Filing Successfully

The forms themselves are straightforward to download. Where filers run into trouble is the sequencing — which forms to file first, which documents to attach, and how to avoid the formatting mistakes that get packets rejected by the clerk.

The most common rejection: submitting a proposed judgment for a case with children but omitting the child medical support terms required under ORS 107.106. The clerk sends it back, and you lose weeks.

The Oregon Divorce Filing Process Guide maps every form to its place in the filing sequence, with field-by-field instructions and a pre-submission checklist that catches the errors before the clerk does.
