How the Document Portal Works
What Is the Document Portal?
The Rogue Family Law Document Portal is our self-service tool that guides you through a streamlined process to select and complete the right forms to get the relief you’re after. Our time tested family law forms include the full range of requests you can make and include the information the court will need to determine whether to grant them. And you can get them without having to own Word or Adobe Acrobat.
How the Document Portal Works
It's this simple: fill in the answers, finalize your forms, file your documents and forward (or “serve”) them to your spouse/partner. Our Workflows include not only what you need to start your case but what you need to manage and finish it.
Step 1: Purchase Access to your chosen Document Portal Workflow in the Shop
Your purchase today includes access to the Document Portal workflow you choose. Each workflow includes all and only the forms you need for your family law goal, so you don't have to guess which forms you need to file for your situation. You'll get login details on the thank you page and in your email immediately after your purchase.
Step 2: Answer the Interview Questions
Our digital interview process asks you only the questions you need to answer to complete the documents, then it automatically selects and fills in the sections you need for the relief in each aspect of your case including the details the judge needs using the answers you provide.
Your answers will also automatically rule out sections that don’t apply to you so you don’t waste time answering questions that don’t apply to your case.
Step 3: Print, Sign, and File Your Forms with the Court
After you finish the online questionnaire, you can download or have emailed drafts of your forms in pdf and Microsoft Word. From there, you can print them and file them or e-file them. Even better, you can review and revise them as needed so you have a clear, complete and accurate document set to put your best foot forward.
The included course includes helpful tips for 'efiling' with the Oregon Court!

Frequently Asked Questions
The Oregon Court forms are standard forms that anyone can use. Unfortunately, if you get things wrong, you risk having your case dismissed or worse, submitting inaccurate or incorrect information to the Court. Our Portal makes it easy for you to understand what's being asked of you so you can put the right information in the right places.
Yes! Our Document Portal system was designed and tested so that you don't HAVE to be technical in order to answer the questions and get the court documents you need. But if at any point you get stuck, you'll have a personable support contact who can help you out.
Yes! We built this system knowing that not everyone will have their own personal computer. If you need to use a public computer (like in a library or at a friend or family member's house), please make sure that you're using a private or incognito window to access your login.
Yes! We tested the Document Portal on all devices to ensure that anyone with access to a modern browser and the internet could access the portal and fill out the forms they need.
The information you'll need is the same information you'd need if you worked with a lawyer: information about your children/partner, address and mailing information, financial information about your debts/income/assets, and any case information (if you have an existing case).
"Forms" is the legal industry word for the documents that you will submit to ("file") with the Court in your county. Everything you need to do legally, from filing for divorce to getting your child support adjusted to getting a judgement - requires a legal form. The Oregon Court also requires extra documents related to health or personal information.
The Document Portal includes the updated documents you need, so you don't have to worry that you're missing something important.
Once you fill out the forms, you can sign and submit them to the Court. The Oregon Court has facilitators who can help you file your forms and move forward with your case.
However, if you would like more personalized help from Rogue Family Law, there are options. If you want some help defining your personal and legal goals and understanding the big legal process and you'll move on after divorce, then you can enroll in the Legal Orientation. If you want an attorney to review your forms, you can hire us for a legal consultation or a legal forms review.
Or if you decide you want more traditional representation, you can explore collaborative law, mediation, or legal coaching with us.
This is your life, this is your case, and we're here to help you do it your way.
Remember: Being self-represented doesn't mean you have to go it alone.
Because the Rogue Family Law Document Portal is part of the larger Rogue Family Law ecosystem of legal products and services, you can add on help as you need it, when you need it, in ways you need it, like document reviews, one-on-one consulting, legal coaching, on-demand workshops, and more.
