Contested vs. uncontested divorce in Oklahoma

Oklahoma recognizes both uncontested and contested divorce. In an uncontested divorce, you and your spouse agree on every major issue, custody, support, alimony, and how to divide property and debt, and the process is faster and far less expensive. In a contested divorce, you disagree on one or more issues and the court may need to step in. Many cases begin contested and settle as the facts come together; Stephanie's job is to position you well whether your case settles or goes to trial.

How long does a divorce take in Oklahoma?

Timing depends on your circumstances. An uncontested divorce with no minor children can often be finalized after a short waiting period of roughly 10 days from filing. When the couple has minor children, Oklahoma imposes a 90-day waiting period, and parents are generally required to complete an approved co-parenting education class before the divorce is final. A contested case can take several months or more, depending on the issues. We give you a realistic timeline up front so there are no surprises.
