Grounds for Divorce in Oregon
Oregon uses no-fault divorce, keeping attention on practical solutions. You do not plead or prove misconduct to end the marriage.
No-Fault Ground
Irreconcilable differences causing the irremediable breakdown of the marriage. This approach lowers conflict and cost and keeps focus on property, parenting, and support terms.
About Fault Claims
Oregon does not require or recognize separate fault-based grounds for dissolution. Conduct can be considered among many equitable factors in certain decisions, but you don’t file “fault” as a basis for divorce.
