Legal Question in Family Law in Oregon

Re: no-fault divorce states

Only "ground" for divorce in Oregon is that irreconcilable differences exist between the parties that have caused the irremediable breakdown of the marriage. This is, at its core, a matter of opinion, but that is all it takes.

At least one party seeking the divorce must have resided in Oregon for six consecutive months immediately prior to filing the Petition for Dissolution of Marriage.

Also keep in mind that a while Oregon may have jurisdictional authority to render a judgment declaring the marriage as dissolved, that does NOT mean that Oregon automatically has jurisdictional authority to decide the issues of child custody and visitation, and child support. When parties live in two different states, the determinations of which state has authority over child custody and visitation, and child support, are controlled by UCCJEA and UIFSA.
