Guide
Oregon dissolutions are circuit court cases filed under ORS 107.086 in a county where a spouse resides, and the circuit court records office keeps the file. Case records are public at the courthouse, with Social Security numbers, account numbers and dates of birth kept on a Segregated Information Sheet under UTCR 2.100 and 2.110, and the family law Confidential Information Form, with a party's Social Security number, date of birth and employer, kept from public view under UTCR 2.130. The Uniform Support Declaration, the sworn income form filed whenever support is at issue, is public and warns the filer so. The ORS 107.089 financial records are exchanged between the parties and not filed, so the property division is read from the general judgment, any stipulated judgment or settlement agreement, supplemental judgments and qualified domestic relations orders.
OJD Records and Calendar Search shows basic case information free and no documents; OJCIN OnLine carries the Register of Actions by paid subscription; each circuit court has a free public access terminal, and documents are copied by request to the records office. The Oregon asset search page explains what the judgment shows.

Straight answers
Open only the answer you need.
State court records are usually free to view at the courthouse and often free online, with per-page fees for certified copies. PACER charges $0.10 per page (capped at $3.00 per document), waived under $30 per quarter.
No. A sealed case is hidden from the public docket index by court order. Its existence may still be confirmable by number, but documents are not accessible.
Civil cases involve disputes between parties (contracts, torts, family). Criminal cases are brought by the government. Both are indexed by the same court clerks but tracked in separate sub-dockets.
Not in one search. PACER covers all federal courts. Most states have a statewide judiciary portal that covers their state courts, but a few require per-county lookups. This page links to Oregon's official portal.

Every state page lists that state's official court record sources, each opened and verified.
