How long does it take to get a divorce in Oklahoma
Divorce’s timeline depends on many factors. For example, contested divorce with minors involved may take a significant amount of time.
Thus, many couples choose to proceed with a no-fault divorce with a Marital Settlement Agreement. Luckily for Oklahoma residents, their uncontested divorce with no minors involved can be finalized in no more than 10 days since the filing. Otherwise, the state requires the spouses to wait 90 days before the final divorce order is issued when the children are involved.
Another thing to know about the 90-day waiting period in Oklahoma is that the judge can waive it in case:
- Neither party objects; or
- The court has reason to believe that the counseling has failed and there is no chance for reconciliation.
The following conditions pursuant to 43 O.S. § 107.1(b) also allow to waive the waiting period
- Extreme cruelty;
- Abandonment (≥1 year);
- Habitual drunkenness;
- Imprisonment on felony charge;
- Conviction of child abuse;
- Internment in a state institution for the insane (≥5 years);
- The procurement of a final divorce decree without this state by any spouse, which doesn’t in this state release the other party from the marriage obligations; or
- A child of either party has been adjudicated deprived, pursuant to the Oklahoma Children’s Code, as a result of the actions of either party to the divorce, and the party failed to complete the service and treatment plan required by the court.
Residency Requirements in OK
If the couple doesn’t want to get their case dismissed and is willing to proceed with their divorce in any Oklahoma county, they must comply with the state’s residency requirements. Unfortunately, the most common mistake regarding residency requirements is that the spouses have to file for a divorce in the state where they got married.
According to Oklahoma law, to be eligible for a divorce, either of the spouses must be a state resident for six months immediately before the couple files for a divorce.
Otherwise, any of the spouses must be a resident of any US army post or military reservation within Oklahoma for the same six months term before filing.

Where do I go to file for an uncontested divorce in Oklahoma?
In Oklahoma, an uncontested divorce can be filed in the District Court in the county where either spouse resided.
What are the grounds for divorce in Oklahoma?
In Oklahoma, the spouses can proceed with either fault-based grounds for divorce or no-fault ones. No-fault grounds for divorce are irreconcilable differences, which means that the marriage doesn’t stand a chance to be reconciled.
Fault-based divorce in Oklahoma includes the following grounds:
- Abandonment (for 1 year);
- Adultery;
- Impotency;
- Impregnation by someone other than her husband at the time of the marriage;
- Extreme cruelty;
- Fraudulent contract;
- Habitual drunkenness;
- Gross neglect of duty;
- Imprisonment of one of the spouses at the time the divorce petition (complaint) is filed, and that incarceration is the result of being sentenced for committing a felony; and
- One of the spouses obtained an out-of-state divorce that isn't valid in Oklahoma.
How is property divided in a Oklahoma Divorce?
Oklahoma is known as the community property state, meaning that all marital property is owned equally by both spouses. The critical thing to remember is that only marital and not the separate property will be divided during the divorce. In Oklahoma, marital property is divided equitably either through a joint agreement by the spouses or the court.
