Understanding Alimony Laws in Oklahoma

Alimony, also known as spousal support, is a court-ordered payment that one spouse makes to the other after a divorce. In Oklahoma, alimony is not automatically granted and is only awarded in certain situations. Our Oklahoma City alimony lawyers at Self Legal Group, PLLC can help you understand the state's alimony laws and determine if you are eligible to receive alimony or required to pay it.

Some factors that may influence the court's decision on alimony include:

• Length of the marriage
• Each spouse's income and earning capacity
• Standard of living during the marriage
• Health and age of each spouse
• Contributions made to the marriage, such as child-rearing or supporting a spouse's education or career

Our experienced family law attorneys can guide you through the alimony process, including securing temporary spousal support while your case is pending and negotiating alimony in lieu of property division.

Oklahoma City Alimony Lawyers

A divorce can leave one spouse without an income or without the skills to find employment. In these cases, a divorce can be not only emotionally devastating but also financially draining.

The Oklahoma City alimony attorneys at Self Legal Group can help you with all aspects of your divorce. If you or your spouse needs alimony, spousal support or spousal maintenance, we will give you personal guidance and knowledgeable legal support. It is important to distinguish the two primary types of alimony. One type of alimony is for spousal support and the other type of alimony is meant to refer to a division of property. Each of these types of alimony is further defined below.

At our firm, we offer compassionate, friendly and caring legal counsel. Contact our divorce attorneys to discuss your concerns.

Securing Temporary Spousal Support Alimony in Oklahoma

In deciding whether to grant temporary spousal support alimony in a divorce, a court will look at two primary factors. First, the court will look at whether there is a need for alimony by one party. This need is most often based on education and marketability in the workplace.

The other factor a court will look at is the ability of the other party to pay alimony. The court will examine the party’s net income after taxes and monthly expenses in order to determine whether they can pay the alimony or spousal support. Our alimony lawyers work inside and outside of the courtroom in order to develop an alimony payment schedule that meets your needs.

Property Division Alimony, or Alimony in Lieu of Property Division

Alimony in lieu of property division is given when one party receives an asset and pays the other party the other party’s equitable share of that asset. For example, if one spouse gets the marital home in the divorce, they may be required to pay alimony payments to their ex-spouse to pay off the equitable value of the other person’s share of the asset. Alimony in lieu can be paid over time or in a lump sum. An alimony attorney is extremely valuable in these situations.
