Petition For Separation Of Marriage-RDP (With Children)

PETITION FOR SEPARATION OF MARRIAGE OR RDP. This form is used in the Circuit Court of Oregon to legally request a formal separation between spouses or domestic partners. It allows one party (the petitioner) to initiate court proceedings to separate from the other party (the respondent) without immediately seeking a full dissolution (divorce or termination). The form applies to both marriages and RDPs and includes options to request temporary or unlimited duration of separation. It outlines the petitioner’s basis for requesting separation, such as irreconcilable differences or mutual agreement to suspend marital rights and obligations. This petition addresses multiple key issues including the identification and custody of minor and young adult children (ages 18–20), parenting time arrangements, and child support. It also gathers information on existing or pending legal matters involving the parties or their children, such as previous court orders, pending family law cases, or no-contact orders. It ensures compliance with the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act (UCCJEA), requiring detailed residence history and identifying other persons with custody claims. The form includes sections for requesting spousal or partner support, outlining types (transitional, compensatory, maintenance), payment methods, and duration. It allows either party to propose terms for the division of real and personal property, debts, and retirement accounts. The petitioner may propose medical support responsibilities, health insurance coverage for children, and life insurance obligations. Filing this petition also triggers an automatic statutory restraining order preventing the parties from disposing of marital or partnership assets. www.FormsWorkflow.com
