Can You File a Co-Petition?
Oregon has a 6-month residency rule. Check below to see if you qualify to file as Co-Petitioners.
Use this kit if:
- ✓ One of you has lived in Oregon for at least 6 months.
- ✓ You both agree to end the marriage due to "Irreconcilable Differences."
- ✓ You are willing to sign the Co-Petition together.
- ✓ You agree on all asset division and custody terms (for the Stipulated Judgment).
Talk to a lawyer if:
- ✕ You have lived in OR for less than 6 months.
- ✕ Your spouse refuses to sign or cooperate.
- ✕ You need to serve your spouse by publication (cannot find them).
- ✕ You have complex assets like PERS retirement or business valuations.
Why Choose the Co-Petition Route?
Most people file a "Petition" and then pay a Sheriff to serve it. But in Oregon, filing a Co-Petition means you both sign the initial paperwork. This completely bypasses the service process, saves you ~$50-$100 in fees, and signals to the judge that the case is amicable.
Save Thousands
Oregon lawyers typically charge $2,000+ for uncontested cases. Our kit is a one-time fee of $129.
No Service Fees
By filing as Co-Petitioners, you waive the requirement for service of process. It's faster and cheaper.

Frequently Asked Questions
“What is a Co-Petition?”
A Co-Petition is when both spouses sign the initial divorce papers together. This confirms to the court that you agree on everything from the start, skipping the need for a Sheriff to serve papers.
“What is the General Judgment?”
The General Judgment of Dissolution of Marriage is the final document signed by the judge. It contains all the terms of your divorce (property split, debts, custody). Our kit provides the "Stipulated" version for agreed cases.
“What is a Confidential Information Form (CIF)?”
Oregon courts require you to keep Social Security numbers and dates of birth off public documents. You must file a separate CIF to protect your privacy. Our kit includes these mandatory forms.
“Do I have to go to court?”
In most Oregon counties, if you file a Co-Petition and a Stipulated General Judgment, you do not need to appear in court. The judge will review and sign the paperwork in their chambers.
