The Initial Steps in Starting a Divorce Process
What are the first steps you need to take in filing for divorce in the state of Oklahoma? Hi, I’m Chickasha lawyer Brian Glass. Today, we’re talking about the first steps you need to take when filing for divorce.
Your first step is going to be drafting the petition. When drafting this petition, you can either draft the petition yourself, or you can hire an attorney to do so for you. The petition will address several issues, the first of which will be the children of the marriage, if they’re already. This will address such issues as child support, child custody, and visitation.
The next issue will be your personal property. This will be personal property that you acquired either before the marriage or during the marriage. These will both be specified within the body of the petition. Next will be any real property, any real property you owned prior to the marriage, or any real property acquired by the couple during the marriage. Other issues that will be addressed are spousal support, which would be alimony, or attorney’s fees. These can be addressed in several different ways. You can watch another video I have on alimony.
