What is an Uncontested Divorce?
An uncontested divorce is one where both spouses agree on all issues, including property division, debt allocation, child custody, child support, and spousal support.

Oregon Summary Dissolution
Under ORS § 107.485–107.510, Oregon offers a Summary Dissolution procedure for qualifying short, simple marriages. The process is commenced by filing a petition in the prescribed form. It is significantly simpler than a standard dissolution and can be completed more quickly. The summary dissolution process waives the need for full discovery and many standard procedural requirements.
Requirements for Summary Dissolution
No minor children born to or adopted by the parties during the marriage, no children over 18 attending school born to or adopted during the marriage, and no minor children born to or adopted prior to the marriage
Neither spouse is currently pregnant
The marriage is not more than 10 years in duration
No unpaid obligations in excess of $15,000 incurred by either or both parties from the date of the marriage
Total aggregate fair market value of personal property assets (excluding encumbrances) in which either party has any interest is less than $30,000
Neither party has any interest in real property
Petitioner waives right to spousal support (and respondent waives if applicable)
No other pending domestic relations suits involving the marriage in any state

Common Mistakes in Uncontested Divorces
Not putting your agreement in writing
Verbal agreements are not enforceable. Always create a written settlement agreement filed with the court.
Forgetting about retirement accounts
401(k)s, pensions, and IRAs earned during marriage are marital property. Address them in your agreement even if one spouse doesn't claim them.
Incomplete financial disclosure
Oregon requires financial disclosure within 30 days. Hiding assets can void your agreement.
Skipping proper service
Even if your spouse agrees, improper service can invalidate the entire case. Follow Oregon's service rules carefully.
