Your Divorce, Made Simple and Respectful
Our Process: Effective, Caring and Private

Considering a divorce in Oregon?

While divorce can be one of the most difficult and stressful events in life, it doesn’t have to be a war in which everybody loses. As an Oregon divorce expert, I provide you with a healthy path through this major life transition by combining the advantages of divorce mediation with your choice of either getting a divorce without lawyers, or obtaining legal advice and protection from divorce lawyers during the process.

While Oregon is a no fault divorce State, an amicable or uncontested divorce often requires structured discussions and up to date information about Oregon divorce laws. As a Divorce Mediator, I can help you reach agreements about custody, child support, assets and debts, alimony, and any other topic related to a divorce or legal separation in Oregon.

I work with clients throughout Oregon to complete their divorce online (video or telephone meetings), or in person at the Portland office location.

Through our highly successful and affordable process you will:

  • Never set foot in a courtroom
  • Reach agreements on all divorce and separation matters
  • Be supported with clear and compassionate guidance every step of the way

There are 5 primary options for how to get a divorce in Oregon:
Self-Filing, Divorce Mediation, Collaborative Law, Arbitration, and Litigation.

We’ve combined the best features from each.

Some of the benefits of our process include:

 


  • Reduce Costs

  • Protect Your Children

  • Stay in Control

  • Private and Confidential
