How long does it take for a divorce to be final in Oregon?
Divorce in Oregon usually takes less than 2 weeks from the filing of the Co-Petition or 5-6 weeks from the time the spouse is served in a Single Petition Divorce. At the end of the 2-6 week period, a Judge will sign the Divorce Decree and you will be sent a copy. We provide the waiver for any applicable waiting period.

Who gets the house in a divorce in Oregon?
In Oregon, the court will presume that the spouses contributed equally to the acquisition of most property during marriage, regardless of what title says.
