Your Questions About Divorce, Answered

How do I get a divorce in Oklahoma?  A divorce in Oklahoma is granted based on many terms, including adultery, fraud, cruelty, abandonment, living apart, imprisonment, or conviction of a felony. Most divorces are granted on a “no-fault” basis, meaning there is no hope of reconciliation within the marriage.
How much does a divorce in Oklahoma cost? 

The cost of divorce varies and is influenced by many factors, including: 

  • The presence of minor children 
  • Contention between parties 
  • Division of assets  
  • Whether the divorce is fault or no-fault  
  • The attorney's hourly rate 

You can expect retainer fees to start at $3,000. A retainer is essentially a down payment on the work; at Ball Morse Lowe, typically the retainer will cover services through the decree.
How long do I have to live in Oklahoma to file for divorce?  To file for divorce in Oklahoma, at least one spouse needs to have lived in the state for at least 6 months.  
Additionally, you will need to live in the county where you intend to file for 30 days. 
How long does a divorce take?  Oklahoma imposes a 10-day waiting period before a divorce may be granted in cases without minor children. Likewise, cases with minor children have a 90-day waiting period imposed. However, the length of your case will depend on a combination of different case scenarios.  
What if my spouse does not want the divorce?  Oklahoma courts are able to grant a divorce upon a single party petitioning the court, regardless of whether or not the opposing party chooses to participate.
When should I reach out to an attorney?  As soon as you’re considering divorce or facing a legal issue that affects your family. 
Early guidance can help you understand your rights, avoid costly mistakes, and make informed decisions from the beginning. 
You don’t have to wait for things to escalate—starting the conversation early often leads to better outcomes. 
Can I request a male or female attorney to handle my divorce case?  Yes! With our large and experienced family law team at Ball Morse Lowe, you have the option to choose whether you’d prefer a male or female attorney to represent you. We’re committed to matching you with the attorney who best fits your needs and makes you feel comfortable throughout the process.
How often will my attorney communicate with me?  You should expect a communicative and responsive attorney who will actively contact you throughout your proceedings via phone call, text message, and email. 
We will help you prepare for hearings, let you know about changes in your case, let you know if we need documents or other materials from you, and keep you up to date about billing.
