Navigating the Divorce Process in Tigard

How long will it take for you to get a divorce? Each case is unique, but depending on the circumstances, you could be looking at a process that lasts anywhere from 30 days to a year or more.

Here is an outline of how an uncontested divorce could proceed:

  • Talk with your attorney and file a divorce petition (10 to 14 day process)
  • If all terms are agreed on and there are no children, the divorce is finalized approximately in 30 days
  • In cases with children, parents must each take a parenting class

In cases where divorcing parties cannot agree, a months-long litigation process can ensue. It is easily possible that your first trial date would be set for six months in the future and your final trial date may be up to a year from filing. A contested divorce is not always avoidable, and our trial-tested divorce lawyers are prepared to skillfully defend your rights throughout the process. Yet, we will work hard to try to get you the right settlement if at all possible, to save you legal costs and precious time so that you can quickly move forward.
