Divorce

Getting a divorce is not only difficult on the two people who are married, but also the children and extended family involved. Whether you have been wedded for four years or for forty, the decision to get a divorce and the process leading up to the divorce decree can be emotionally exhausting and financially taxing.

Here, at the Owens Law Office, PC, our Oklahoma divorce lawyers aim to make the process of dissolving a marriage as stress-free and painless as possible for everyone involved. Let us alleviate some of the tension and stress of the process with our expertise and acumen of handling delicate situations like yours. Some areas that you may not consider as part of your divorce include:

  • Legal Issues
  • Emotional Distress
  • Family and Social Change and Distress
  • Financial Distress

Protecting Your Interests

Knowing your rights in a divorce proceeding is vital.  This way, you can get everything that you are entitled to when the divorce decree is finalized. We help you handle the following issues:

  • Division of Property and Liabilities
  • Child Support
  • Spousal Support and Alimony
  • Child Custody
  • Any other divorce-related legal matters

We sit down with you and discuss your concerns and study the intricate details of your case meticulously. By doing this, we can provide you with quality legal assistance and defend your rights. We keep you informed every step of the way by explaining the entire process before it happens and while it is happening. At the same time, we work hard to keep your divorce proceeding as civil as possible for the sake of everyone involved.

Property and Liability Division

At Owens Law Office, PC, we understand that you are worried about the stake you have in the property and assets you have accumulated during your marriage. In Oklahoma, marital assets and debt are divided “equitably.” This means that everything you have accumulated during your marriage will be divided in a fair manner, and while division is often 50/50, property may not always be divided equally. Examples of Property and Liabilities Include:

  • Debts and Loans
  • Real Estate
  • Household Items
  • Vehicles
  • Financial Assets
  • Family Businesses
  • Future Expenses

There is no exact formula for determining what is fair division in a divorce proceeding. The lawyers at Owens Law Office, PC evaluate the assets that you and your spouse have acquired during the marriage and ensure that all assets have been disclosed. We will also work hard to safeguard what is rightly yours, as well as fight to get your fair share of the marital assets.

Let the lawyers at Owens Law Office, PC help you get your fair share of the marital assets and custody of your children. Call us at 405-608-0708 or contact us online for your free and confidential consultation today.

Your Rights as a Parent – Child Custody and Child Support

When parents get divorced, the divorce itself is difficult enough on the children. We realize that divorce is not just about splitting property and assets. Children’s lives are at stake and their hearts are on the line. We will fight to ensure that the Child Custody and Visitation agreement that is part of your divorce decree is written for the best interest of you and your children. Keep in mind, some of the things the Oklahoma court system will want to know are:

  • Which parent is more likely to ensure that the non-custodial parent is allowed frequent and continuing contact with the children?
  • Who does the child want to live with?
  • Where does the child currently live?
  • Is one of the parents moving to another state? (If so, that may disrupt the child’s life as he or she knows it with a new school, friends, etc. Often, the court will try to keep the child’s life as stable as possible.)

Children also require financial means to handle all of their needs. There are official guidelines regarding Oklahoma child support, however, not all cases are the same. When a decision is being made about child support, the court will take several things into consideration, including the income and means of both of the parents and the property and assets that each parent owns. As your advocate throughout your divorce proceeding, your lawyer at our office will ensure that the divorce decree includes a fair amount for child support.
