FILING FOR DISSOLUTION (DIVORCE) AS CO-PARTIES

What these forms do


This set of forms will help you to get a divorce (legally called a “dissolution of marriage”) if both
parties agree on all issues and you have no children under 21. This is an abbreviated version
of the instructions. The complete version is available on the Oregon Judicial Department’s
Family Law website at:
[Link]

I. General Information:
A. Use black or dark blue ink and print or type when you fill out your forms.

B. Always file the original forms with the clerk. You should always make yourself an
extra copy before you file any form with the clerk.

C. Keep the court informed of your current address. It is your responsibility to keep
the court informed of your current address. You are not required to use your residential
address on any court form. You may use a contact address where you regularly check in.
Your contact address will become public information. Please make sure that you use an
address that is okay for other people, including the other party, to know. It must be an address in
the state where you live where you can receive mail. If you use a contact address, the court will
assume that you will receive all notices sent to that address.

D. Case Heading. Make sure you fill in your names in the blanks at the top of the forms
using your full names (first, middle or middle initial, last). Write the names the same way on all
of the forms.

E. Case number. The clerk will give you a case number when you file your papers.
Don’t worry about filling out this part of the case heading until that time. Make sure you put this
number on all your copies and papers you file with the court.

F. Statutory Restraining Order. Oregon law requires both parties to obey a restraining
order preventing either party from dissipating (selling, destroying, removing, disposing of) real
or personal property, making unilateral (without the agreement of the other party) changes to
insurance policies, and making extraordinary expenditures. Expenditures that are necessary for
the safety or welfare of the parties are not prohibited. By filing your co-party petition, you
agree to be bound by the terms of this order. The order is effective immediately upon filing
of the petition. If either party violates the order, s/he may be subject to sanctions. The “Notice
of Statutory Restraining Order Preventing the Dissipation of Assets in Domestic Relations
Actions” is attached to this packet.

G. Confidential Personal Information. There is certain personal information that can


only be listed in a Confidential Information Form (CIF) and may not be listed in any of the other
papers you file with the court. These are required forms and there are two CIFs provided in the
\\LANSRV01\FAMILY COURT\DR FORMS- CURRENT\[Link] Page 1 of 3
Revised 05/2025
packet, one for each party. See the CIF information sheet that is part of this packet.

H. Spousal/Partner Support. There are three different categories of spousal or partner


support in Oregon:
o Transitional support is to help you get work-related education and training
o Compensatory support may be ordered if you significantly contributed to the
education, training, job skills, career, or earning capacity of your spouse or partner
o Maintenance may be ordered for your general support

Either party may request and be awarded support. More than one type of support may be
awarded. Any award may be ongoing or for a particular period of time (such as 3 years, while in
school, up to a certain amount, etc.).

NOTE: Support is also available to Registered Domestic Partners. If either partner


might leave the state or declare bankruptcy, you should see a lawyer.

I. Property and Debts. You need to tell the court how you want to
divide your property and debts. You should be as specific as possible and include
everything you and the respondent own or owe. If any property or debts are not
included in your judgment, you cannot return to court to make changes later except in very
limited circumstances.

You may be entitled to part of the other party’s retirement benefits (including
pensions). If you do not address retirement benefits in your judgment, you will
lose the right to claim your share except in very limited circumstances. These
forms will not divide a party’s retirement benefits. Talk to a lawyer first if you want to claim a
portion of the other party’s retirement benefits.
J. Optional Forms. (Available upon request)

1. Application, Declaration and Order for Waiver or Deferral of Fees. This form allows
you to defer payment of the filing fees until final judgment if you are unable to pay
the fees at the time you file your petition. NOTE: There is only one filing fee for a
Co-Party case. If the parties would like to request a deferral or waiver of this fee,
both parties’ financials will be considered and therefore each party must complete and
submit a separate Application.

II. Completing the documents


You must: (1) fill out the forms and (2) file the forms with the clerk.

A. Fill out the forms.


1.
Co-party Petition for Dissolution of Marriage/RDP.
UTCR 2.130 Confidential Information Form (CIF). (One for each party)
2.
3.
Notice of CIF Filing.
4.
Record of Dissolution of Marriage/RDP.
\\LANSRV01\FAMILY COURT\DR FORMS- CURRENT\[Link] Page 2 of 3
Revised 05/2025
B. Have your documents reviewed.

Please have your documents reviewed by either the Family Court Assistance Office or your
lawyer. You should have a lawyer advise you on these forms if either of you have a retirement
account. You may schedule an appointment for the Family Court Assistance Office to review
your documents by calling 541-682-4302 or emailing LANFamilycourt@[Link].

III. Filing the documents.


A. File the forms with the clerk.
When you have finished filling out your forms, file the following original forms with the
clerk: (1) Co-Party Petition for Dissolution, (2) UTCR 2.130 Confidential Information Forms
(CIFs), (3) Notice of CIF Filing, and (4) the Record of Dissolution of Marriage/RDP. You
should make one copy of the forms you file with the clerk for your own record.

Payment of fees. When you file your petition for dissolution, you must pay a filing fee. You
may ask the court to defer or waive payment of this fee, by filling out an “Application,
Declaration and Order for Waiver or Deferral of Fees” form. You may obtain the form and a fee
schedule from the court clerk or the Family Court Specialist. Each party must complete and
submit a separate Application and Declaration. You must be prepared to either pay the filing fee
or submit the completed Applications at the time of filing your dissolution paperwork. (If the
court “defers” your fee, you will be required to pay all deferred fees back to the court at a later
date.)

IV. Finalizing Your Dissolution


A. 1. Once you have completed the previous steps, you may fill out and present the following
forms to the judge to resolve your case. (It may be possible to submit these forms the same day
you file forms 1- 4 if all forms in the packet are complete and signed by both parties.)

5. General Judgment of Dissolution

2. Are the Documents signed? You must present your final documents to a judge. Lane
County Supplementary Local Rule (SLR) 2.501 sets forth the procedure for presenting Ex Parte
Orders and Judgments to a judge for signature. Review SLR 2.501 or contact the Family Court
Assistance Office for current information about the process for presenting the forms to a judge
and filing with the Court. You may submit a copy of your documents when you submit the
originals. Once the court signs your documents, the clerk will conform your copies.

REFER TO THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR YOUR TYPE OF FILING
FOR COMPLETE INFORMATION ABOUT FILLING OUT AND
FILING YOUR FORMS

If Both Parties Agree on All Issues


Filing separately
You can file as Petitioner and the respondent can accept service of the Petition. Complete
the appropriate General Judgment form and have both parties sign it. If you file
separately, each party is required to pay a fee.
The respondent can choose not to file a Response. If no response is filed,
judgment will be entered based on what is in the Petition after you file a
Motion for Order of Default (see “By Default” section below).
or
Filing together
You can choose to file as Co -parties using the Co-party Petition for Entry of Stipulated
Judgment form. You do not have to complete or serve the regular Petition if you choose to
file a co-party petition. Complete the appropriate General Judgment form and file it with
your Co-party Petition. All of the information you need to complete the forms is in the
instructions for your filing type (dissolution (divorce), separation, or unmarried parents).
If you file as co-parties, one of you will be labeled ‘petitioner’ and the other will
be ‘respondent.’ There is no legal or procedural difference between the
“petitioner” and “respondent” in co-party filings.
If you file as co-parties, only one filing fee is required at the time of filing. Note
that if you file as co-parties and later need to file a modification of judgment,
you will have to pay both the filing fee for modification of judgment and the
second initial filing fee.
Both of you must sign the Petition form

Information about the Confidential Information Form (CIF)

What is a CIF?
Most court files may be viewed by the public. Uniform Trial Court Rule (UTCR) 2.130 requires certain
confidential personal information to be protected from public disclosure. That is done by providing the
information in a separate form. After you file your papers, the court keeps the form separate from the
part of the court file that may be viewed by the public. The form is UTCR Form 2.130.1, known as the
Confidential Information Form, or CIF.

What information does a CIF make confidential?


The information protected by the CIF is social security numbers, birth dates, driver license numbers, and
former legal names. Also protected are the name, address, and telephone number of a party’s employer.

The CIF should only be used to protect the information described above. There may be other
information in your court papers that you do not want the public to be able to see, such as bank account
or credit card numbers. The separate process for protecting that information is described in UTCR
2.100, which can be read at:
[Link]

How do I know when I need to put information in the CIF?


When a document filed with the court requires you to include information protected by a CIF, that
information must only be provided to the court in a CIF and must not be listed in any other document to
be filed. Where you would otherwise provide the information in the document to be filed you must
make a note that the information has been provided in the CIF. For example, if a document requires a
party’s full social security number to be listed, you must not list the social security number, but must
instead make a note on the document that the information has been filed under UTCR 2.130. The
online court forms already have that note on the form.

Do I need to file more than one CIF?


In most cases, yes. You must fill out a CIF for yourself, and if the documents you are filing with the
court require confidential personal information about the other party, you must also fill out a separate
CIF with the other party’s information. If your case involves children, you should include their
information in your CIF. You do not need a separate CIF for your children.

If there is CIF information you do not know when you file your papers, or if the information changes
during your case, you must file an amended CIF that provides the new or updated information.

The CIF rule requires you to redact – black out or erase – confidential personal information from any
attachments to documents you file with the court and to make a note on the attachment that the
information has been provided in the CIF. The only exception is when you are required to attach a
court-certified document. Documents that are required to be court certified should not be altered in any
way.

INFORMATION ABOUT THE CIF FORM - Page 1 of 2


CIF_InfoSheet-[Link] (2016)
Does the other party get copies of a CIF I file?
You are not required to serve the CIFs on the other party, though you may share a CIF with the other
party if you chose to do so. You are required to serve the other party with UTCR Form 2.130.2, which
is a notice that a CIF has been filed. You must also file a certificate with th e court showing that you
served the other party with the notice that a CIF was filed.

There are steps the other party and other people can go through to ask the court to allow them access to a
CIF that you have filed. UTCR 2.130 explains that process in detail, and also describes the
circumstances under which the court must deny a request by someone else to view a CIF you have filed.
