Getting an Uncontested Divorce in Pawhuska & Osage County

If you and your spouse agree on all divorce-related issues, including property division, child custody, and spousal support, you can get an uncontested divorce. This is the easiest and least expensive way to get a divorce in Oklahoma, in no small part because it is quicker than getting a contested divorce. However, it is still a good idea to have an attorney on your side to help you draft the necessary documents and ensure you have met all of the legal requirements.

First, you have to meet the residency requirements for an Oklahoma divorce. This means that at least you or your spouse has lived in Oklahoma for six months before either of you can file for an uncontested divorce.

If one of you files for a no-fault divorce, this means you will have to select "incompatibility" as the grounds for your divorce. If you and your spouse can agree on the major issues of your divorce, you can include these terms in your divorce petition, and once all your documents are filed and you've gone through your waiting period, you may be able to have your divorce finalized in a court hearing. If you have minor children, you might also be ordered to attend a conference for parenting plans.

What Are the Benefits of an Uncontested Divorce?

There are several benefits to getting an uncontested divorce in Oklahoma. The first benefit is that it is quicker than getting a contested divorce. An uncontested divorce can be finalized as soon as 10 days after your spouse files an answer to your petition. If you have minor children, it could take 90 days after your paperwork is submitted before you can finalize your uncontested divorce, but this is still faster than a contested divorce. A contested divorce can take several months or more than a year to finalize.

The second benefit is that it is less expensive than getting a contested divorce. An uncontested divorce can save you as much as thousands of dollars on filing fees, court hearings, attorney fees, and more.

The third benefit is that an uncontested divorce is less stressful and adversarial than getting a contested one. An uncontested divorce is a relatively amicable process, because you and your spouse agree on all divorce-related issues. A contested divorce, on the other hand, is a more adversarial process, because you and your spouse do not agree on one or more issues. Especially if you must continue a co-parenting relationship after the divorce, an uncontested divorce can help you set the stage for a more successful future for you and your children.
