Motion to Correct Judgment

The Rogue Family Law Document Portal lets you prepare your court paperwork using our forms from the comfort and privacy of your home.  You complete our online “interview” and it will generate the documents you need to ask the judge to move (“continue”) your court date. In addition to the portal, this tool comes with a course containing FAQ’s, explanatory guides and a checklist of steps to help you find the right forms and finish them right the first time.

This Workflow lets you easily prepare your paperwork to correct  your divorce judgment, called a “Motion to Correct Judgment.”

Under Oregon law, you can correct a judgment which is incorrect due to a clerical mistake caused by “oversight or omission.” Typical examples are mistakes made preparing or processing a judgment, such as putting in the wrong name, date or amount OR leaving out something that the court ordered. This workflow is NOT for cases in which the judgment correctly includes what the judge said, found or ruled but with which you disagree. This is not for case in which you disagree with what the judge decided.

Each Workflow has two parts:

1. a series of questions (or “interview”) you answer and,
2. a set of documents we create from your interview answers.

After you answer all the questions in your interview, you will see a page with all of the questions and your answers. Review this carefully and make any changes so it’s correct by clicking on the pencil icon and then hit the “complete” button. The next screen you will see is the page with all your documents. From there, you can:

• review and print your documents by clicking on the document on that page;
• download the documents by scrolling to the bottom, and choosing PDF, Word or both; and/or
• get the documents emailed to you (a good choice if you aren’t working from your home computer).

When you get your documents, you will need to sign them and either:

• electronically file them using the Oregon efile portal (covered in your Portal course including how to set up and use efile)
• print your documents and take them to the courthouse for filing (also covered in the portal course).
• if you choose to get your documents in Word, you can make more changes directly to the documents

Whichever option you choose, proofread your documents carefully before you file them.

This workflow includes the following documents:

1. A document asking the judge to correct your document.
2. A sworn statement giving the judge your reasons for asking him/her to correct your judgment.

(This workflow is only for cases where a judgment has already been signed. Please email support@roguefamlylaw.com if you have questions about whether this is the right workflow for your situation.)
