In Oklahoma, the division of assets in a divorce is based on the principle of ?equitable distribution.? This means that the court will divide the marital property in a manner that is fair and just, but not necessarily equal.

You can expect a no-fault divorce in Oklahoma to be resolved much more quickly than a fault-based divorce. This is because neither party has to argue about or prove who was responsible for the divorce. Oklahoma courts will grant a no-fault divorce if one spouse claims the couple was incompatible.

If you do not have minor children and are going through an uncontested divorce, the divorce can be finalized within 10 days. In uncontested divorces where you share children, the waiting period is 90 days. The judge may decide to forego this if there are absolutely no objections to the terms of the divorce.

You may file in the District Court in the county where you have resided for at least 30 days, or in the county where your spouse resides. The simplest procedure is an uncontested divorce, where you and your spouse reach an agreement about all issues.

All marital property is owned equally. In Oklahoma, spouses can have joint tenancy or tenancy in common. When spouses are tenants in common, there can be a disproportionate division of property between the couple. Also, debts accrued from community property are divided equitably between the couple.
