Are there different types of dissolutions? (divorces)

​Oregon law creates a summary dissolution proceeding for people with simple dissolution cases. If a couple meets the requirements for summary dissolution, they may pick up forms at the courthouse or access them online.

Self-help forms for more complex dissolutions also are available. Many Oregon counties have family court facilitators available at the courthouse to help explain the different types of forms. Facilitators are not practicing lawyers and cannot give legal advice.
