DIVORCE

With our firm protecting your interests, you can approach the Oregon divorce process with clarity and confidence. We take the time to listen, explain your rights and options, and provide knowledgeable legal guidance to help you reach a fair and practical resolution during this difficult transition.

Oregon is a “no-fault” divorce state, meaning you do not need to prove wrongdoing to end a marriage. Instead, the grounds are simply that the marriage is “irretrievably broken.”

Oregon does have a residency requirement to file for divorce in the state, and generally the principle of equitable distribution is followed. The court can order the dissolution of the parties marriage, and make decisions on other topics, such as child custody, spousal support, and child support.

Divorce is one of life’s most stressful transitions. Beyond the emotional impact, the process often involves difficult decisions about dividing property, addressing debts, and determining what type of financial support may be agreed upon or required by the court. Even when spouses agree on most issues, the paperwork and procedures can be confusing.

Having a family law attorney by your side ensures that your rights are protected, that nothing important is overlooked, and that the process moves as smoothly as possible. At Newport Law, we help you evaluate your options, negotiate fair solutions, and stand up for your interests if disputes arise.
