What to Expect at a Beaverton Divorce Consultation
Every successful divorce strategy starts with an informed consultation. During your initial meeting, our attorneys will review the key aspects of your case, explain Oregon’s divorce process, and help you understand your rights and next steps.
At Romano Law, your consultation is both confidential and educational — it’s designed to give you clarity, confidence, and direction. You’ll have the opportunity to discuss:
- Your marriage, assets, and debts
- Any children involved, including custody or parenting time concerns
- Spousal support (alimony) questions
- Property division, home ownership, and retirement accounts
- Oregon’s timelines, filing requirements, and court procedures
- Differences between contested and uncontested divorce cases
- Expected costs and attorney fees
We’ll walk you through what to expect at each stage — from filing the petition to final judgment — and explain which strategy best fits your goals. Whether your priority is protecting your financial interests, maintaining stability for your children, or resolving things as quickly and peacefully as possible, we tailor our approach to your specific situation.
Most consultations last about an hour and can be held by video, by phone, or in person at our NW Cornell Road office. You’ll leave with a clear understanding of your options, a realistic timeline, and a transparent plan for moving forward.
Beaverton Contested or Uncontested Divorce
In Oregon, every divorce begins with the same goal — to dissolve the marriage fairly and lawfully — but the path you take depends on how much you and your spouse agree on key issues.
An uncontested divorce is typically the fastest and least expensive way to end a marriage. It works best when both spouses agree on all major terms, including:
- Division of property and debts
- Parenting time and child custody arrangements
- Child support and spousal support (alimony)
- Responsibility for attorney fees and court costs
When both sides are cooperative, your attorney can help you finalize the paperwork, file your petition with the Washington County Circuit Court, and move through Oregon’s mandatory waiting period quickly — often without multiple court appearances.
A contested divorce, on the other hand, arises when spouses disagree about one or more issues. These cases may involve negotiations, mediation, settlement conferences, or courtroom hearings before a judge. Contested divorces are more complex, take longer, and generally cost more, but they can be the right path if fairness or safety are at stake.
At Romano Law, our Beaverton divorce attorneys have extensive experience handling both types of cases. We’ll assess your goals, explain the pros and cons of each approach, and help you decide which strategy best protects your interests — whether through peaceful resolution or firm courtroom advocacy.
Beaverton Divorce Attorney FAQ
Do you offer free consultations?
Our Beaverton divorce consultations are not free, but they’re affordable and designed for people who are serious about moving forward with their case. We charge a modest consultation fee to ensure that every client receives focused, thorough, and confidential advice. Romano Law does not offer document review, limited-scope, or pro bono work — we handle each case from start to finish to deliver the best possible results.
Do you specialize in divorces for men or women?
We represent both men and women — and mothers and fathers — in Beaverton and throughout Oregon. Romano Law does not take “men’s rights” or “women’s rights” positions. Instead, we focus on fairness, strategy, and protecting your interests under Oregon law. To avoid conflicts, we never represent both spouses in the same case.
How long does the Beaverton divorce process take?
Timelines vary, but most Oregon divorces take between several months and one year. Cases with children, property disputes, or contested issues typically require more time due to court scheduling and mandatory disclosures. During your consultation, we’ll outline a realistic timeline based on your situation.
How much will my Beaverton divorce cost?
The cost of a divorce depends on case complexity, level of conflict, and court involvement. Romano Law generally requires a $5,000 retainer to begin work and up to $15,000 if the case proceeds to trial. These retainers are not flat fees — they’re starting points for individualized, high-quality representation from experienced Beaverton divorce lawyers.
Where will my Beaverton divorce case be heard?
All Beaverton divorce cases are filed in the Washington County Circuit Court, located in Hillsboro. At this time, there is no family law court annex in Beaverton, so in-person appearances are typically required. Some procedural hearings may occur by video or telephone with court approval.
How do I start the divorce process in Beaverton?
Your first step is to schedule a consultation. Once retained, your attorney will help you complete an intake questionnaire, prepare your Petition for Dissolution of Marriage, and file it with the court. From there, the petition is served on your spouse, and temporary orders for custody, support, or exclusive use of property can be requested if necessary.
