You have to be a resident of Oregon for six months to start any actions and I think you are probably really close, if not already here the six months. I think the best thing to do is to come to our office during our regular intake hours and talk with someone. I don't know your transportation situation so I hope coming to our Salem location is an option for you. If you come in and are eligible, you could talk with someone the same day. Our hours are 9-11 am Mondays and Tuesdays, and 4-6 pm on Tuesdays. We are at the corner of 17th & State Streets behind King Donuts. We don't charge for anything but divorce and custody classes and while I am not an attorney I don't believe you would be right for the one of the classes. If you have questions, please contact me at my regular e-mail, carla@mplas.org.
