SLMS can typically assist eligible students with most family law matters
provided the opposing party is not a PSU student. For family law matters where
both parties are PSU students, SLMS can provide mediation services. (link to
mediation page). All students seeking assistance with an Oregon divorce are
required to attend an orientation session before making an appointment with one
of the attorneys. (click for divorce workshops). SLMS can only assist in cases
where jurisdiction is in Oregon or Washington. When appropriate, SLMS may be
able to provide direct representation in Multnomah, Washington, Clackamas and
Clark Counties. SLMS requires attendance at a divorce orientation (link to
events page) prior to receiving an individual appointment. For more
information about family law in Oregon, click (Oregon law help family law

hotline at 1-800-383-1222; Monday, 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m., and Thursday, 9:00
