OPTIONAL STATEWIDE FAMILY LAW FORMS
- New and Revised Forms -
The Office of State Court Administrator
has prepared family law forms for optional use by local courts.
IMPORTANT: Self-represented litigants
should check with their local
courts and facilitators
to find out whether the court in their county will accept the use of these
forms and to find out what the filing fee is. If
you cannot find the form you are looking for on this website or at your
local court, click
to get more information about where else to look.
IMPORTANT!
If your case involves complicated legal issues, you may seriously harm
your legal rights if you use these forms without consulting with a lawyer.
You are strongly urged to talk to a lawyer. You may find a lawyer by calling
the Oregon
State Bar's Lawyer Referral Service and Modest Means program at 1.800.452.7636.
You may also contact your local
legal aid office. For more information about legal services and information,
visit the Oregon State Bar's website at www.osbar.org.
Downloading the Forms:
Forms available for download are in Portable Document Format
(PDF). You need a PDF viewer or reader to open those files. Adobe
offers a free
Adobe Acrobat Reader, which works with Windows and Macintosh operating
systems. You can download it from the Adobe website. Adobe
also provides free
PDF tools for the visually impaired.
How To Select The Forms You
Need: A brief description about each of the form packets is
contained in this file Forms
for Family Law Cases(Rev
4/08). This may be helpful to you in selecting which packet to
use. Click on the links below for the actual forms in each packet.
Searching the Forms:
You may search the forms using the "Search" function above,
restricting the search to "www.ojd.state.or.us", not the entire
World Wide Web (WWW). Type in a descriptive word or phrase generally
describing the form you need. For example, if you are looking for
forms to keep your child's schedule as it currently exists during the
pendency of your case, you may type in the words "status quo"
and a number of possible links will be provided.
COMPLETE
LIST OF FORMS: Complete list of all available forms in each
packet (Rev 4/08).
(ALL FORMS REVISED IN 2008)
Effective August 1, 2009: New Uniform Trial Court Rule 2.130 establishes procedures for segregating certain confidential personal information in family law proceedings.
This new UTCR impacts certain family law proceedings forms. However, due to budget constraints, the Oregon Judicial Department is unable at this time to revise the family law forms to reflect the changes brought about by UTCR 2.130.
Please be advised that you are responsible for and must comply with the changes brought about by UTCR 2.130 even though the forms on this website have not been updated.

FILING THE FORMS WITH
YOUR LOCAL COURT:
You should take your completed forms to the court for filing. Some counties
have facilitators
available to help self-represented litigants complete the forms correctly.
Courts charge a fee to file most documents with the court. To find out
whether your court has a facilitator to assist you and to find out what
the filing fee is, contact the clerk of your local
court.
