Is Divorce the Answer for You?


Here are some questions and answers that you may find helpful if a divorce is contemplated:

Q: What are the grounds for divorce in Oklahoma?

A: Although there are 12 grounds for divorce in Oklahoma, only a few are commonly used. They are:

Incompatibility

Gross neglect of duty to support

Extreme physical or mental cruelty

Abandonment for a period of one year

Adultery

Q: What power does the divorce court have after the case is started?

A: The divorce court, upon application and hearing, will issue a temporary order concerning possession of property, custody and visitation of children, support and payment of any expenses connected with the case under which the parties will operate until the conclusion of the case. The court will, at the time of trial or settlement, equitably and fairly divide the marital property and debts; address child custody/visitation and child support, and grant the divorce; it may, if appropriate, award support alimony and attorney fees and costs, but not always.

Q: What happens after my petition has been filed?

A: At the time your petition is filed, a summons is issued by the Court Clerk notifying your spouse that the divorce has been filed. At the same time, your attorney can make application for a temporary order to be issued which would direct your spouse to take specific actions or restrain the spouse from doing certain things. You will be required to appear in court to testify as to your need for each of the temporary requests you are making. Unless your spouse has signed a waiver, or is missing and service by publication is proper, your divorce papers will be turned over to a Deputy of the Sheriff's Office or a special officer appointed by the court to serve the papers. Often, the attorney does not know when the papers have been served but will use his or her best efforts to find out and notify you. After the papers have been served, the spouse has 20 days in which to file an answer, normally through a lawyer, in court.
