What are the residency requirements for filing for divorce in Oregon?
If you were married in the state of Oregon and either you or your spouse is a resident of the state, you may file for a divorce based on these grounds: • Your spouse was married to another person at the time that he or she married you. • You and your spouse are first cousins or more closely related. • One of you was incapable of really agreeing to marriage because you were not of legal age or could not have understood what you were doing. • You agreed to marry your spouse because you were forced to, or your spouse committed fraud to get you to agree to marry him or her. But if you were not married in the state of Oregon or you are filing on the ground of irreconcilable differences, you or your spouse must have been a resident of the state for at least six months before filing. You must file in the county in which you or your spouse lives.
