Divorce is a significant life event that can bring emotional, financial, and legal challenges. While the process may feel overwhelming, understanding your options and having the right support can help you move forward with confidence. At Allen Law Firm, PLLC, we are committed to guiding clients in Tulsa and throughout Oklahoma through the complexities of divorce, ensuring their rights and interests are protected every step of the way.

Types of Divorce in Oklahoma

Oklahoma recognizes two main types of divorce:

Uncontested Divorce
In an uncontested divorce, both parties agree on key issues such as property division, child custody, and spousal support. This type of divorce is typically faster, less expensive, and less stressful than contested divorce.
Contested Divorce
A contested divorce occurs when spouses cannot agree on one or more aspects of their separation. These cases often require mediation or litigation to resolve disputes.

Key Issues in Divorce

Every divorce is unique, but common issues that need to be addressed include:

Division of Assets and Debts

Oklahoma is an equitable distribution state, meaning marital property and debts are divided fairly, though not necessarily equally. Determining what is considered marital vs. separate property can be complex, especially in high-asset divorces.

Child Custody and Support

Custody decisions are made based on the child’s best interests, considering factors such as parental involvement, stability, and the child’s needs. Child support is calculated using state guidelines, which take into account the income of both parents and the child’s requirements.

Spousal Support (Alimony)

Alimony may be awarded to ensure one spouse can maintain financial stability after divorce. The amount and duration of support depend on factors like the length of the marriage, earning capacity, and contributions to the household.

How to Prepare for Divorce

Proper preparation can make the divorce process smoother and less stressful. Here are some steps to consider:

Gather Financial Records
Collect documentation of income, expenses, assets, and debts to help with property division and support calculations.
Consider Your Goals
Identify your priorities, whether it’s retaining specific assets, securing custody of your children, or achieving financial stability.
Seek Legal Guidance
A knowledgeable attorney can help you understand your rights, navigate the legal system, and advocate for your interests.
