How to File for Divorce in Oklahoma?

Here is how you are supposed to dissolve your marriage in Oklahoma:

1. Make sure you chose the right local court - submit the papers in the location you have lived in for at least a month . To start the divorce, you have to write a petition (select the form appropriate for your situation whether you have kids with your spouse or not). The document must be accompanied by a cover sheet and a summons - present them to the court clerk.
2. Discuss the contents of the Oklahoma Divorce Agreement with the other party or their attorney - decide who will stay in the marital home you have shared and map out a co-parenting plan to take care of your children. A summary of the statements from this contract should be included in the dissolution of marriage decree you both approve and sign. Besides, couples with children are supposed to complete documentation verifying their intention to continue supporting their kids.
3. In case one of the parties is not ready to sign the decree right away, notify them about the divorce with the certified copies of the paperwork . They will have twenty days to submit an answer to your petition to the court clerk who will then inform you about the upcoming date of the hearing.
4. Appear in court after a waiting period is over (if you do not have children together, the hearing may be scheduled ten days after you filed the petition), let the judge examine your documentation, and answer their questions - provided that the parties are treated fairly, the judge will certify the divorce decree.
