The Divorce Process in Oklahoma
The divorce process in Oklahoma can feel overwhelming. But with an experienced family lawyer on your side, you can focus on your family and leave the rest up to us.
Understanding the steps involved can also help the whole process feel more manageable.
Petition/Answer & Cross-Petition
This initiates the process by announcing to the Court and the opposing side the general scope of your goals.
Temporary Order
Where the Court or the parties by agreement, establish a temporary set of rules for the parties to follow during the pendency of the divorce proceedings.
Discovery
This entails varying different process used to determine the necessary evidence to present on your behalf.
Negotiations/Mediations
We will help you negotiate with your spouse to resolve contested issues such as division of assets and debts, child custody, and responsibility, child support, and spousal support. If we are unable to come to a satisfying agreement through negotiation, we can work with a third-party mediator to hammer out a resolution.
Trial
In the end, if a settlement is unobtainable, we’ll take the fight to Court and argue your case in front of a judge.
Every divorce is different, and our attorneys will work closely with you to navigate the unique aspects of your case. But no matter the challenge, we’ll stand by your side with integrity and dedication.
Child Custody and Support in Oklahoma
In many divorces, the biggest dispute can often become about child custody and support. When children are involved, their well-being becomes the top priority. Oklahoma courts aim to establish custody arrangements that serve the child’s best interests.
Oklahoma law distinguishes between two types of custody:
Each of these types of custody might be granted solely to one parent, or divided up between the two. In addition, child support is determined based on Oklahoma’s guidelines, considering each parent’s income, the child’s needs, and other factors.
Our role is to make sure that your rights as a parent are respected and that the court is taking into account what’s best for you and your child. Read more about the services our firm can provide to parents involved in child custody disputes.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a divorce take in Oklahoma?
The timeline varies, but uncontested divorces can be finalized in as little as 10 days. Contested divorces tend to take much longer. Depending on how quickly the contested issues are resolved, the divorce process could last for months or even over a year. An experienced divorce attorney can help the process go as smoothly and quickly as possible.
What is a no-fault divorce?
Oklahoma allows no-fault divorces based on irreconcilable differences, meaning you don’t have to prove that your spouse committed any wrongdoing.
How is property divided in an Oklahoma divorce?
Oklahoma is an equitable distribution state, meaning assets and debts are divided fairly, though not necessarily equally. This means, if you and your spouse can’t agree, an experienced divorce attorney will make a case to the judge explaining why you deserve the distribution you want.
What if my spouse refuses to cooperate?
In Oklahoma, the court may grant a default judgment if the spouse fails to respond within the required timeframe. At Koller Baker & Associates, we’re experienced in handling uncooperative spouses and will use all legal tools available to protect your rights.
How much does a divorce lawyer cost?
Costs vary depending on the complexity of the case. We’ll discuss fees upfront and work with you to develop a plan that fits your needs.
