Oklahoma, along with 40 other states, is classed as an Equitable Distribution state. That means that marital property (but not separate property) must be divided equitably, or fairly, either through a joint agreement by both spouses or, failing that, by the court.
While divorce laws vary by state, here are the basic steps that a person may have to follow to obtain a divorce: First, you or your spouse must meet the residency requirements of the state you want to file in. Second, you must have grounds (a legally acceptable reason) to end your marriage.
A divorce in Oklahoma may be granted on the basis of adultery, abandonment, fraud, cruelty, imprisonment, conviction of a felony, living apart, and others. However, the vast majority of divorces are granted on a no-fault basis, meaning that the marriage is beyond any reasonable hope of reconciliation.
If you post the divorce documents, your spouse must sign and return to you the Acknowledgement of Service (Divorce) as proof of service. You will need to file this document at the court. If you post the documents but do not get the Acknowledgement of Service (Divorce), you must try to serve your spouse in another way.
The name given to the spouse that files first for divorce is the Petitioner and the spouse that files second is called the Respondent. The clearest advantage to filing for divorce first is that at trial the Petitioner gets to present his/her evidence first.
