How do I Start a Divorce in Oklahoma?

Divorce With Minor Children in Oklahoma

Divorce is the legal process that ends a marriage. Even if you and your spouse are going to do an uncontested divorce in Oklahoma, you still have to go through the court process. To begin you must:

• have been a resident in Oklahoma for at least 6 months at the time you file.
• have been a resident in your county for at least 30 days at the time you file.
• have personal jurisdiction over your spouse. What is Personal Jurisdiction?

Divorce with children isn’t just about two people ending a marriage — it’s about protecting what matters most: your children's future. In Oklahoma, divorcing with minor children brings extra steps, from custody agreements to child support to parenting classes. You don’t have to figure it out alone.

Most families can reach agreements outside of court, without a long and expensive fight. We help parents navigate the paperwork, meet the legal requirements, and create custody plans that focus on their children’s best interests.

You don’t have to wonder what comes next or risk missing an important step. We will guide you through the entire uncontested divorce process, making sure everything is handled the right way — the first time.

Your children deserve peace and security. Let’s make sure they get it.

Representation or Education?

An old man once said to me, "Everything is hard until you learn how to do it." He wasn't just being funny. We are hard on ourselves and often place limitations on ourselves that are unfair. You can hire an attorney, complete your divorce, and move on with your life better than when you started your divorce. But, what if a lawyer was willing to explain the process? What if instead of the big legal words, someone explained what they mean in simple terms? That is exactly what we do.

We have put together over 10 hours of videos explaining the divorce process, what you have to do, down to what to say to the court clerks, judges, and judge's staff. It's not a script, but teaching you what information each needs from you. After watching our videos, you will have the confidence to go file your case, set your case for hearing, and answer the questions asked of you. Every document has a video with it that will show you all of the details you need to know about the video. You can post comments and see responses from the community. If you still need help, you can schedule a call with an attorney and get direct answers to your questions.

We know that most people can represent themselves with a little nudge in the right direction. Get started today!
