Oregon Divorce – How long does it take?

​The length of time it takes to get a judgment of dissolution depends on the complexity of the case and the court’s timelines. A dissolution case moves quickly if the parties file as co-petitioners and agree on everything before they file. If a judge has to make decisions, the case will take longer.

The respondent has 30 days after being served to file a response. A party may have 10 to 30 days to file a response to a request for temporary orders (this time period depends on local court rules).

Each court may have additional timelines for mediation, parenting classes, and other requirements. You should check local court rules for these requirements.
