If what you are involved in is a same-sex REGISTERED OREGON DOMESTIC PARTNERSHIP, than yes, it needs to be formally dissovled, the same as dissolution of a marraige.
I you are referring to is anop[posite-sex domestic partnership, or a same-sex partnership that is not a "Registered Domestic Partnership," there is no legal entity to be "dissolved." So no need for any legal action.
