| How do I serve my spouse with the divorce papers in Oregon? |
|
In a standard Oregon divorce, the non-filing spouse, also known as the Respondent, signs an Acceptance of Service in front of a Notary Public, which eliminates the need for formal service. Petitioner simply mails or hand-delivers the divorce documents to the Respondent. When the spouses act as Co-Petitioners, the spouses sign a Joint Petition and are designated as Co-Petitioners, which eliminates the need for service.

One notice may notify the clerk that each spouse has filed a document containing confidential information.
