Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a divorce lawyer or a separation lawyer?
In Oregon, spouses who want to separate but not end their marriage have the option of filing a petition for legal separation. A legal separation is very similar to a divorce, but at the end of the day, the parties are still married. You may choose legal separation for religious reasons, health care coverage, or to have the time to work out problems in your marriage. Whatever the reason may be, Russell Law Group, LLC can help you navigate the process for obtaining a legal separation and advise you of the effects it may have on a later divorce.
Do I have to get a legal separation before petitioning for divorce?
No. In Oregon, a legal separation is not a prerequisite for filing for divorce. The key requirement is that one spouse must have lived in Oregon for 6 months prior to filing for divorce. Both spouses don’t need to be living in Oregon at the time of the divorce filing.
Do I need a divorce attorney?
While a divorce can be completed without the assistance of an attorney, it is best to have a lawyer on your side to protect your rights and ensure that the process is completed properly and fairly.
How long does it take to get divorced in Oregon?
When there are no issues and both parties agree on everything, a divorce can be finalized in as little as 1 month. In most other cases where parties aren’t in complete agreement, 3 months is about average but some cases may take as long as a year to finalize.
Who will get the house in my divorce?
Division of property is one of the most contentious and complex aspects of most divorces. Questions like this are impossible to answer without knowing the full details of your case. Generally speaking, in Oregon, property acquired during the marriage is split 50/50, but many factors may affect the answer in your specific situation.
I have kids. Can you help me fight for custody?
Yes. When representing you in your divorce case, we can work with you and your ex-partner to create a custody arrangement and parenting plan that is in the best interest of your children. If needed, we can represent you in family court to present your case to a judge
