Organizing Evidence for Oregon Family Courts
Filing Rules Overview
Oregon family courts follow Uniform Trial Court Rules (UTCR) for evidence submission. Electronic filing is mandatory in most counties. Documents must meet specific formatting standards including font size (12-point minimum), margin requirements (1 inch), and page numbering.
Formatting Requirements
All exhibits must be clearly labeled with sequential numbers or letters. PDF format is required for electronic submissions. File names should clearly identify the document (e.g., Exhibit-A-Text-Messages.pdf). Multi-page documents should include page numbers. Color documents are acceptable if relevant to the evidence.
Common Mistakes
Failing to include exhibit labels on submitted documents. Submitting documents in formats other than PDF. Missing page numbers on multi-page exhibits. Unclear file naming that makes documents difficult to identify. Submitting exhibits without a corresponding index or table of contents.
