Same-Sex Divorce Frequently Asked Questions

Is same-sex divorce handled differently in the state of Oklahoma?

In Oklahoma, same-sex couples have the same legal rights, responsibilities, and protections as all married couples. However, every divorce brings its own set of emotional and legal complexities, from property division to parental rights and financial arrangements. 

 
Ball Morse Lowe’s same sex divorce attorneys help couples navigate these challenges with compassion and clarity, ensuring your rights are protected and your voice is heard. 

What are the types of same-sex divorce?

Just like divorces involving traditional couples, same-sex couples can face a range of divorce scenarios that require careful consideration: 

  • Contested Divorce: When spouses disagree on issues such as property division, custody, or support, the process can become more complex and emotionally charged. Our same sex divorce lawyers help you navigate these disputes with fairness and strategic focus. 
  • Uncontested Divorce: When both parties agree on all major terms — including property, debt, and parenting plans — the process can be smoother and more efficient. However, even uncontested divorces benefit from legal guidance to ensure your rights remain protected. 
  • Mediation: A neutral mediator helps both parties find resolution outside of court. This option allows couples to maintain control and focus on collaboration over conflict. 
  • Collaborative Divorce: Each spouse works with their own attorney to negotiate solutions in a cooperative, non-adversarial setting — often leading to more amicable outcomes. 

 

How long does a divorce take in Oklahoma?

The length of a divorce in Oklahoma, regardless of the couple's sexuality, depends on several factors, including the type of divorce, the level of agreement between spouses, and court scheduling. Uncontested divorces can take a few months, while contested cases or those involving complex financial or custody issues may take longer.

Your attorney can help set realistic expectations and keep the process moving efficiently. 

Do I need an attorney for same-sex divorce? While you can technically file for divorce on your own, having an attorney who understands the complexities of same-sex divorce is invaluable. Working with a knowledgeable legal team ensures your rights, and your future, are fully protected. 
How much does same-sex divorce cost?

There is no difference in cost for a same-sex versus a heterosexual divorce. Costs vary depending on the type of divorce and the level of conflict involved.

Uncontested divorces tend to be less expensive than contested ones, but every situation is unique. Factors like property division, child custody, and spousal support can all affect overall costs. Our Oklahoma same-sex divorce lawyers are transparent about fees and will help you understand what to expect from the start. 

What are common issues that arise in same-sex divorce?

If you are contemplating divorce as a same-sex couple, here are some of the common challenges you will need to navigate following the dissolution of your marriage. 

  • Property Division: Dividing assets such as homes, investments, and businesses fairly. 
  • Financial Obligations: Addressing debts and financial responsibilities accumulated during the marriage. 
  • Child Custody and Support: Determining parenting time, custody arrangements, and support — particularly in cases where legal parentage must be clearly established.
