FAQ
You can divorce any spouse. Whilst I would advocate that divorce is a last resort for most. Pre-existing physical disability should not be any part of that decision, though how much consideration towards his/her condition - subsequent to divorce- is up to you.
If you were married for at least 10 years to your former spouse, you may be eligible for monthly benefits based on their earnings record, even if they have remarried. In order to receive these benefits, you must be at least 62 years old and have a disability that prevents you from working.
In general, disability benefits are often considered separate property and not subject to division in a divorce. This is because disability benefits are intended to compensate an individual for their own disability and are typically not considered marital assets.
Louis Harris & Associates, which has surveyed the relationships of people with disabilities for the National Organization on Disability since 1984, found that 13 percent of those it surveyed last year were divorced, compared with 11 percent in 1994 and 9 percent in 1984.
Adultery. Abandonment. Reckless spending, such as gambling assets. Physical, emotional, or verbal abuse.
Spouses are entitled to an equitable share of marital property in Oklahoma. Oklahoma is an equitable distribution state. With equitable distribution, the judge decides how assets and debts are split based on what they believe to be fair for the circumstances.
Under Oklahoma law support alimony can be terminated if the person receiving alimony gets married or begins living with a romantic partner. Support alimony may also be terminated or modified if there has been a significant change in the need and/or earning ability of either person.
Establishing Marital Agreements A prenuptial or postnuptial agreement can prevent many alimony disputes. Such marital agreements allow couples to agree beforehand on whether spousal support would be awarded in the event of a divorce.
If alimony/spousal maintenance was not requested as part of the divorce, it is too late to go back to court and request it afterwards. A person can ask, but unless state law provides for some basis to bring up a new issue, this is not possible. Even less likely is to receive a retroactive award.
