Divorce doesn’t always have to mean conflict. At Koller Baker & Associates, we’ve seen time and again that, while every divorce is a significant life event, some couples can work through their issues to reach a resolution amicably. However, even if you’re anticipating an uncontested divorce, it’s still important to have a vigilant and experienced Oklahoma divorce attorney on your side to make sure that the transition is as quick and painless as you hope for.

Our Oklahoma Uncontested Divorce Services
An uncontested divorce occurs when both spouses agree on all major issues, such as property division, child custody, and support, allowing the process to move forward without going to court. In contrast, a contested divorce typically lasts much longer and may require litigation in a court of law.
Uncontested divorces can simplify and expedite the divorce process, but they still require careful attention to detail. The most important step in an uncontested divorce is drawing up a divorce agreement that both spouses can agree on. These agreements typically cover topics such as:
- Property Division
- Child Custody Arrangements
- Child Support
- Spousal Support (Alimony)
Even when both parties agree on the terms, having an experienced attorney ensures that your divorce is legally sound and sets a solid foundation for the future. At Koller Baker & Associates, we believe that uncontested divorces deserve just as much care and consideration as a complicated contested divorce. That’s why we offer comprehensive uncontested divorce services tailored to each client’s needs.
Do I Need a Lawyer for an Uncontested Divorce?
While uncontested divorces are often less complicated than contested ones, they still involve critical legal decisions that can have long-term effects on your finances, your family, and your future. Without proper legal guidance, you may inadvertently agree to terms that aren’t in your best interest, or fail to address key issues altogether.
Hiring a lawyer guarantees your divorce agreement will have:
- Clarity: All aspects of your agreement are documented and enforceable.\
- Fairness: Your rights are protected, and the division of assets and responsibilities is equitable.
- Compliance: All legal procedures and filings adhere to Oklahoma’s divorce laws.
- Future Stability: Avoiding errors or oversights that could lead to disputes or modifications later.
At Koller Baker & Associates, we help simplify the uncontested divorce process while ensuring you’re fully informed and empowered every step of the way. We also focus on the paperwork and the legal aspects of your divorce, so you can focus on what’s most important: your family, your children, and yourself.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does an uncontested divorce cost?
Costs vary based on the complexity of your situation, but uncontested divorces are generally far less expensive than contested ones.
What happens if we agree on everything but child custody?
Disagreements on custody generally would require a contested divorce, because of the seriousness of the disputed issue. If you and your spouse cannot agree on a child custody arrangement, it’s best to contact an experienced divorce attorney as soon as possible.
Can we handle an uncontested divorce without a lawyer?
While it’s not legally required, hiring a lawyer ensures your agreement is legally sound and avoids potential future issues. You can schedule an initial consultation to see if a lawyer is right for you.
Is mediation required for uncontested divorces?
Mediation is not required, but it can help resolve disagreements during the process. Talk to a lawyer about whether third-party mediation is what you and your spouse need.
