With our divorce lawyers, you will not risk spending thousands (or tens of thousands) of dollars each and then going to trial.
One Day Divorce is a unique approach to divorce created by Oregon Attorney Steven Leskin. After more than 20 years of watching the adversarial process make a bad situation worse for divorcing couples, Steven Leskin developed an approach which utilizes a hybrid mediation and arbitration process which guarantees that the divorce will be done in one day. The one-day session follows a one-month preparation period to identify the issues and exchange information to ensure transparency. After the mediation/arbitration, we draft the divorce documents and shepherd them through the court.
One Day Divorce: How Does It Work?
There are seven stages in a One Day Divorce:
Stage 1
Provide the couple’s objective background and marriage information through online questionnaires
Stage 2
Provide notice to one another of the legal or factual issues to be raised and resolved at the hybrid divorce mediation/arbitration
Stage 3
Create an inventory of the assets and debts of the marriage. These first three steps take about one month.
Stage 4
Both spouses meet together with the attorney to prepare for the divorce mediation and identify differences and what additional information will be needed for the mediation
Stage 5
Participate in a structured discussion to problem solve solutions differences with a neutral, trained mediator. In the event that differences remain at the end of the mediation, the mediator will make the final decisions based on Oregon law.
Stage 6
After the divorce mediation concludes, we draft the court documents for your signature and then file and pay filing fees
Stage 7
We notify you directly once the court signs the divorce decree and provide additional, specific information for your post-divorce relationship.

Why Choose One Day Divorce?
The One Day Divorce process was developed intentionally to be fast, fair, transparent, and economical. The innovative One Day Divorce approach offers three distinct advantages over traditional divorce litigation:
- An Affordable Oregon Divorce: The One Day Divorce process focuses on resolving a couple’s differences without spending thousands of dollars on unnecessary legal work, such as interim support motions (necessitated by long court waits), unnecessary discovery or repeated motions to postpone a trial date because the attorneys are not ready or the courts do not have a judge available.
- Fast Divorce: One Day Divorce focuses on finalizing your divorce in two months and not years.
- Fixed Fees: You will know exactly how much your divorce will cost ahead of time, including all fees, costs, and court filing fees. You do not enter into an open-ended agreement with an attorney at $300/hour/person. There are no surprises.
FAST DIVORCE:
Divorce on your schedule – not the court’s
NO COMPLICATIONS:
LESS CONFLICT/LESS AGGRAVATION
DIVORCE MEDIATION:
THE COURTS REQUIRE YOU TO MEDIATE!
