I understand that "gotten" one of the American past participle forms of the verb "get" (the other is, obviously, "got"). My question is whether its use is reserved for informal sitatuons only, or perhaps it may be used in formal language as well.

I believe it is used in all situations. If I'm sure if I'm wrong about that someone will be kind enough to correct me.
