Oregon is a "no fault" divorce state which means that courts will not go into why a husband or wife want a divorce; it doesn’t matter according to Oregon law. The only reason needed for a divorce or dissolution of marriage is that a husband and wife can no longer get along, and there is no reasonable possibility of reconciling these problems.  Oregon law calls this "irreconcilable differences."  A judgment of divorce judgment will usually address the following issues:

• Child custody, legal custody, joint custody, parenting time or visitation
• Child support
• Spousal support or alimony
• Health insurance for the children
• Division of marital property, including assets and debts
• Prenuptial Agreements
