Legal Question in Family Law in Oregon

Re: Divorce, Michigan or Oregon?

You may file for divorce in Oregon if at the time of filing you have been a resident of this state continuously for at least six months.

However, while the Oregon court in that situation could render a judgment that declares the marriage as dissolved (terminated), the Oregon court may not have jurisdictional authority to make rulings and render decisions on other issues that are "incident" to the dissolution of the marriage, such as child custody, visitation rights, child support, property division, etc.

To properly analyze and evaluate your case, more factual information is needed. This is one of the things that lawyers do for a living: case evaluation and rendering legal advice.

Should you wish to proceed, give me a call and we can arrange for an office conference to fully evaluate your situation. (And much like doctor consultations, lawyers, too, charge for their services.)
