Simplified Divorce Process: Compassionate Support Every Step of the Way

  • Your journey begins with a private meeting at our downtown Oklahoma City office or via a virtual meeting if that’s what’s best for you. We'll discuss your unique situation, explore your goals, and outline potential approaches.

  • We'll prepare and file your divorce petition with the appropriate Oklahoma county court. This formal document states your intention to divorce and outlines your requested terms.

  • Oklahoma divorces typically take months to finalize. During this time, we can establish temporary arrangements for child custody, support payments, and use of marital property.

  • Both parties must provide complete financial information, including assets, debts, income, and expenses. We'll help you gather these documents, ensure your spouse provides full disclosure, and identify any hidden assets to protect your financial interests under Oklahoma's equitable distribution laws.

  • We'll represent your interests in negotiations with your spouse's attorney and during court-required mediation sessions. Our goal is to reach fair agreements on property division, child support, and parenting arrangements without costly litigation.

  • If settlement isn't possible, we'll present your case before an Oklahoma family court judge. With over 1,000 litigated cases behind us, we'll build compelling arguments supported by evidence, expert testimony, and thorough preparation to advocate for your desired outcome. Given our vast experience, we know the judges and court staff and can provide expert representation.

  • Once all issues are resolved, we'll prepare the final decree for the judge's signature. This legally binding document details all aspects of your divorce and officially ends your marriage, typically after Oklahoma's mandatory 90-day waiting period.

  • If substantial changes occur in circumstances affecting custody, support, or other arrangements, we can help you petition for modifications to your divorce decree to reflect your current situation.

Let Us Help You Build Your Future!

Our divorce lawyers are considered some of the best in Oklahoma and will support you every step of the way. Schedule a consultation to discuss your needs and create a path forward.

Your OKC Divorce
Questions Answered

  • The Oklahoma divorce process typically involves resolving five key issues:

    1. Division of marital property and debts according to Oklahoma's equitable distribution laws.
    2. Determination of child custody and visitation arrangements that serve the best interests of children.
    3. Calculation of child support payments based on Oklahoma's statutory guidelines.
    4. Potential alimony (spousal support) determination based on marriage length and financial disparities.
    5. Allocation of attorney fees and court costs.

    Oklahoma law requires a 90-day waiting period from filing to finalization, and divorces involving minor children require completion of a parenting class and a detailed parenting plan.

  • The fastest route to divorce in Oklahoma is through an uncontested proceeding where spouses agree on all issues.

    While Oklahoma law mandates a 90-day waiting period from petition filing to finalization (extended to 180 days with minor children), having a comprehensive settlement agreement prepared by an experienced attorney like Lily Debrah Cruickshank can significantly streamline the process.

    For Oklahoma City residents, utilizing our firm's uncontested divorce service provides efficient document preparation, proper filing with Oklahoma County courts, and strategic timing to minimize delays. Without children and with complete agreement, your divorce can be finalized immediately after the waiting period expires.

  • When your spouse lives internationally during an Oklahoma divorce, additional complexities arise, but solutions exist.

    First, Oklahoma courts can maintain jurisdiction if you meet residency requirements, regardless of your spouse's location. Service of process on an international spouse must follow the Hague Convention procedures for participating countries or through diplomatic channels for non-participating nations.

    While physical appearances can be challenging, our legal OKC divorce firm arranges remote participation via video conferencing for court proceedings. For military families stationed overseas, we navigate both Oklahoma divorce laws and military regulations. Property division involving international assets requires specialized expertise in foreign ownership laws, which our Oklahoma City divorce attorneys provide.
