Common questions
How long does a divorce take in Oregon?
Uncontested, often a few months; contested, longer. You will get an honest read at the consultation, not a sales pitch.
How is custody decided?
Oregon courts decide by the child's best interests. We will talk through what that standard means in your situation.
