Oklahoma divorce filings, is there a waiting period?

I understand you have a question about divorce filings in Oklahoma. Can you please confirm if you are asking about the waiting period for a divorce in Oklahoma?

Yes

Have you already filed for divorce in Oklahoma, or are you looking to start the process?

Start

Is there anything else the Family Lawyer should know before I connect you? Rest assured they'll be able to help with Oklahoma divorce filings.

Charlie

How long have you been married?

7 years

Charlie

Understood. Do you have children together?

No, we have children from prior partners.

Charlie

Completely understand. Did you already file the divorce petition?

I have not.

Charlie

Understood. Will your spouse agree to the divorce?

Yes. I have the agreement attached. I'm just not sure if I we both sign and file if thats it after a waiting period, or if two filings are required.

Charlie

There is a 10-day waiting period if you both agree on the divorce. 

90 days is only involved when there are children of the marriage. (43 OK Stat § 107.1(A))

Are there any special rules around asset divisions that I need to be aware of? We are in agreement on the split.

I just want to make sure a court down the road can't reopen and say well you have to split this 50/50.

Charlie

No, as long as you both agree the judge will accept how you distribute assets amongst yourself. As long as you address all assets in the settlement agreement, the divorce would not be re-opened.

Ok so If i get the attached notorized and filed at the courthouse it will finalize 10 days later?

Charlie

Yes.

Perfect. I think that is all I need.

Charlie

Very good.
