Re: Divorce, Michigan or Oregon?

While we am not familiar with the Oregon residency statute, Michigan statute allows a divorce to be filed in Michigan if the complainant(filer) or the defendant (spouse) has resided in Michigan the past 180 days. The complaint also must be filed in a County where either party has resided for 10 days immediately preceding the filing.

We specialize in the area of divorce and family law, and would be happy to assist you further in anyway we can. We look forward hearing from you directly. Good Luck.
