Your OKC Divorce Attorney

No one begins a marriage expecting it to end, and reaching the point of divorce can feel overwhelming. Some separations are cooperative; others are far more complicated.

We listen, we tailor our guidance to your needs, and we work to protect what matters most to you. When you’re ready, our team is here to help you take the next step forward.

Different Types of Divorce - OKC Divorce Lawyer

Divorce raises a lot of questions, especially because the process can look different for every family. If you’re unsure which path fits your situation, our team is here to help.

  • Uncontested Divorce – Even in a straightforward divorce, it’s important to understand your options and protect your rights. Representation helps keep the process smooth and fair.
  • Contested Divorce – When spouses disagree on major issues, the process becomes more complex. Reaching out early can help you avoid costly missteps and stay focused on a workable outcome.
  • Mediation – Many couples resolve disputes through mediation before going to trial. We frequently partner with accredited mediators and support clients through a collaborative, solution-focused process.
  • Military Divorce – Military divorces involve additional rules around benefits and pensions under Oklahoma law and the USFSPA. Our team can guide you through these unique requirements.
  • Same-Sex Divorce – Same-sex spouses have equal legal protections, yet certain complexities can still arise. We provide thoughtful, comprehensive counsel to safeguard your rights and support your next steps.
  • Collaborative Divorce – A collaborative divorce allows both spouses to work together, outside the courtroom, to reach agreements with the support of trained professionals

We also assist with legal separation, temporary orders, and asset valuation and division. When needed, we bring in trusted professionals to support your case.

Ball Morse Lowe has guided clients through every type of divorce, from no-fault to collaborative. If you’re unsure where to begin, we’re here to answer questions and help you move forward with clarity.

Filing for Divorce in Oklahoma

The divorce process looks a little different for everyone, but here’s a simple outline of what to expect:

1. Residency Requirement
At least one spouse must have lived in Oklahoma for six months before filing. If your situation is more complex, our OKC divorce lawyers can walk you through your options.

2. Petition
One spouse files a petition with basic information about the marriage, grounds for divorce, and any requests such as alimony or custody. This document is then formally delivered to the other spouse.

3. Response
The other spouse has 20 days to respond. If disagreements remain, additional steps may be needed to resolve them.

4. Hearing or Mediation
Some cases require a hearing, while others are directed to mediation to help find common ground.

5. Divorce Decree
Once all issues are resolved, the court issues a final order—your divorce decree—which officially ends the marriage.

Oklahoma allows no-fault divorce based on irreconcilable differences, though spouses may still pursue a fault divorce by stating specific grounds such as adultery, imprisonment, or fraud.
