[or-roots] Divorce Records

[D. J. Brotherton]

The Oregon Bar Association has rules about how long legal documents are kept by an attorney.   I had a case where the lawyer died and his records was placed in the basement of a house and I went and retrieved my box of records after calling the Oregon Bar Association and found out where they were.  

Remember every peice of paper may not have been kept - just the court papers.   Also the opposing attorney - if there was one - would have filed court papers and all  court papers should be microfilmed and kept in the courthouse - at least in Marion County under the County Clerk administration,  and I believe  the same would apply to Lane County.  I just have experience with Marion County.
