“Professional quality documents. Looked exactly like what a law firm produces.”

Is This Kit Right for You?
Oregon's co-party route works well for genuinely agreed cases, but it has real residency, venue, and paperwork requirements. Check below to see if it fits.
Use this kit if:
- One of you has lived in Oregon continuously for at least 6 months, and one of you currently lives in the county where you'll file.
- You both agree the marriage has irreconcilable differences and are willing to sign the Co-Party Petition together.
- You agree on property division and, if you have children, are ready to complete Oregon's required custody, parenting-time, and support terms together.
- If either of you has a retirement account being divided, you understand a separate QDRO will be needed for that account.
Talk to a lawyer if:
- Neither of you meets Oregon's 6-month residency or county-venue rule.
- Your spouse won't sign the Co-Party Petition, disputes any term, or can't be located.
- There is domestic violence, coercion, or pressure of any kind — a joint filing should reflect a genuinely voluntary agreement, not fear.
- You have complex assets, a contested custody dispute, or a child who hasn't lived in Oregon for the last 6 months.
If any of these apply, an Oregon family law attorney or your local courthouse's self-help center can advise on a contested filing or a safer path — this kit is built for genuinely agreed, uncontested cases only.
What Filing as Co-Parties Actually Does
It's the biggest time- and cost-saver in an Oregon uncontested divorce — but it's not a blank check. Here's exactly what it does and doesn't do.
Replaces a separate Petition and service
Instead of one spouse filing and paying to formally serve the other, you both sign the Co-Party Petition and file it together with your General Judgment. Oregon requires only one $301 filing fee at that point, not two.
What it doesn't do
It doesn't guarantee a judge signs your Judgment as submitted, and it doesn't exempt your case from Oregon's automatic restraining order on shared insurance, property transfers, and extraordinary spending. Because you're filing together instead of formally serving each other, that restraint effectively applies as soon as you file — not after a separate waiting period.
We can't promise your specific court will process an agreed case without any questions, or in any particular number of days — no honest DIY product can. Our roadmap shows you how to prepare a complete Co-Party Petition and Judgment so it isn't sent back for a missing form.
Why Choose a DIY Kit?
An agreed, co-party case is one of the few places a self-help kit can genuinely replace a lawyer's paperwork — as long as you know exactly which extra forms your situation still needs.
Save Thousands
You do the paperwork yourself and keep the difference between typical attorney pricing and a one-time kit fee — see the breakdown alongside.
One Filing Fee, Not Two
File separately and each side typically owes its own fee. File together as co-parties and Oregon collects just one fee at filing — a real, verifiable saving co-party filing already builds in.
Your Total Out-of-Pocket
*Statutory fee under ORS 21.155, one fee for co-parties filing together. Fee waiver or deferral may be available if you qualify. Fees are set by the state, not by us, and can change — confirm the current amount with your Circuit Court Clerk. Attorney figure is an illustrative estimate, not a quote.
What's Inside the Kit
Built around the current OJD Co-Party Petition for Entry of Stipulated General Judgment — with a clear roadmap for what children's or retirement cases need on top of it.
Step-by-Step Roadmap
- Complete your Co-Party Petition and General Judgment together
- File them with one fee
- Understand the automatic restraining order that applies once you file
Base Packet (No Children)
The core documents for an agreed, co-party filing:
If You Have Children or Retirement Accounts
Guidance for the additional forms Oregon requires:
A Qualified Domestic Relations Order (QDRO) is a specialized document — we recommend a lawyer prepare it even when everything else in your case is agreed.
What this kit does not include
- Any local or county-specific forms your circuit court may require in addition to statewide OJD forms
- Preparation of a QDRO for dividing retirement benefits — we recommend an attorney for that document specifically
- A guarantee that a judge will sign your Judgment as submitted, or that your case finalizes in any particular number of days
- Court filing fees, notary services, or legal advice about your specific property, support, or custody situation
- Coverage for contested cases, cases involving domestic violence, or a missing/uncooperative spouse — those need a different filing approach and an attorney

How It Works
A roadmap to your Judgment — not a promised timeline, since court calendars and local practice vary.
Our kit includes the Co-Party Petition, the matching General Judgment, the Confidential Information Forms and Notice of CIF Filing each of you needs, and the Record of Dissolution Oregon requires before a judge can sign your case. If you have minor or young-adult children, or retirement accounts to divide, we walk you through the additional forms Oregon requires for those.

Fill out the Co-Party Petition, matching General Judgment, your CIFs, the Record of Dissolution, and (if needed) the UCCJEA Supplement.
File Together, Once
Both sign and file everything with your Circuit Court Clerk, paying the single filing fee that applies to co-party cases (confirm the current amount with your clerk).

A judge can sign a complete, agreed Judgment without a hearing. If anything is missing, the court may request corrections or schedule one.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Co-Party Petition?
It's a single Petition for Entry of Stipulated General Judgment that both spouses sign and file together, instead of one spouse filing a regular Petition and formally serving the other. Filing this way means only one $301 filing fee is due at filing. It does not mean a judge automatically approves your Judgment — the court still reviews it.
How long do I have to wait?
Oregon's self-help resources describe agreed cases resolving in a month or less, and some co-party filings finishing in about a day — but that depends on your specific court's calendar and whether your paperwork is complete. We can't promise a specific number of days for your case.
What is the Confidential Information Form (CIF)?
Oregon court rule UTCR 2.130 requires each party to file a CIF listing personal identifiers like Social Security numbers, which stay off the public record, along with a Notice of CIF Filing. Our kit includes both forms.
What is the Record of Dissolution?
It's a state vital-statistics form filed with your case. Oregon law makes a completed Record of Dissolution a prerequisite to the court granting your final Judgment, so it has to be filed correctly before a judge can sign.
What if we have minor or young-adult children?
If you have any children under 18, Oregon requires a UCCJEA Supplement covering parentage, custody history, and any pending or existing family-law cases. If you have unmarried children ages 18-20 (per ORS 107.108), they may need to sign a waiver of appearance or the stipulated Judgment. Your General Judgment must also address custody, parenting time, and child support.
What if we're dividing a retirement account?
If any retirement benefits, pensions, or similar accounts are being divided, you'll need a separate Qualified Domestic Relations Order (QDRO) for each account. We recommend having an attorney prepare a QDRO even when the rest of your case is fully agreed, since a mistake in that document can affect how the funds are actually distributed.
Does filing together mean my spouse agrees to everything?
Filing as co-parties means you waive formal service of each other and jointly ask the court to enter the attached Judgment. It reflects genuine agreement on the terms in that Judgment, and Oregon's automatic restraining order on shared insurance, property transfers, and extraordinary spending applies once you file — it isn't a step you can undo just by changing your mind about a term later.
Do I have to go to court?
Often not. A judge may sign a complete, agreed General Judgment based on your written declarations without holding a hearing. But the court can still request corrections or schedule a hearing if anything is unclear or incomplete, and local practice varies by county and judge.
Is this route right for every situation?
No. If there is domestic violence, coercion, or any pressure involved, do not rely on a joint filing as a substitute for legal advice — contact a family law attorney or your local courthouse's self-help center instead. This kit is built for genuinely agreed, uncontested cases with no coercion involved.
What if it turns out my case isn't right for this kit?
Email support within 30 days and we will refund you in full. See our Terms of Use for details. We are not a law firm, cannot give legal advice, and cannot appear or file on your behalf — you file with your Circuit Court Clerk yourself.
Find out in 60 seconds whether the co-party route fits your situation.
Answer a few questions about your residency, agreement, children, and any retirement accounts. If it fits, you can download the kit immediately. If it doesn't, we'll tell you that instead.

Important Legal Disclaimer
PlainDivorce is not a law firm and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or approved by the Oregon Judicial Department or any Oregon circuit court. We do not provide legal advice, do not represent you in court, and no attorney-client relationship is created by using this site or the kit. The Oregon Uncontested Divorce Kit is a self-help information product built around the current statewide Co-Party Petition and Oregon Revised Statutes Chapter 107; individual circuit courts may accept additional local forms or require extra steps.
We do not guarantee that your spouse will sign the Co-Party Petition, that a judge will sign your Judgment as submitted, that your case will finalize within any particular timeframe, or a single total cost of your divorce. Court rules and fees are set by the state and can change. The current statutory filing fee is $301 under ORS 21.155, set by the courts, not by us. You are responsible for verifying current requirements and fees with your Circuit Court Clerk before filing.
If you are experiencing domestic violence, coercion, or feel unsafe, do not rely on a joint filing in place of legal advice. Contact a family law attorney or your local courthouse's self-help center. If you are dividing retirement benefits, we recommend an attorney prepare the required QDRO.
