In a divorce, annulment, or legal separation case, the court requires the exchange of basic information about your finances. ORS 107.088 and ORS 107.089 cover the required information and the procedure for exchanging the information. At a minimum, you should be prepared to provide:
(a) All federal and state income tax returns filed by either party for the last three calendar years;
(b) If income tax returns for the last calendar year have not been filed, all W-2 statements, year-end payroll statements, interest and dividend statements and all other records of income earned or received by either party during the last calendar year;
(c) All records showing any income earned or received by either party for the current calendar year;
(d) All financial statements, statements of net worth and credit card and loan applications prepared by or for either party during the last two calendar years;
(e) All documents such as deeds, real estate contracts, appraisals and most recent statements of assessed value relating to real property in which either party has any interest;
(f) All documents showing debts of either party, including the most recent statement of any loan, credit line or charge card balance due;
(g) Certificates of title or registrations of all automobiles, motor vehicles, boats or other personal property registered in either party's name or in which either party has any interest;
(h) Documents showing stocks, bonds, secured notes, mutual funds and other investments in which either party has any interest;
(i) The most recent statement describing any retirement plan, IRA pension plan, profit-sharing plan, stock option plan or deferred compensation plan in which either party has any interest; and
(j) All financial institution or brokerage account records on any account in which either party has had any interest or signing privileges in the past year, whether or not the account is currently open or closed.
