Here is a list of contacts in local Oregon courts to help you since you do not have an attorney: http://www.ojd.state.or.us/osca/cpsd/courtimprovement/familylaw/documents/FACILITATORSListRev04-27-09.pdf.
If you can't access the website, call your divorce court and ask to speak with a "Family Law Coordinator", a "Domestic Relations Clerk", or a "Family Court Specialist."
