Child Custody Lawyer, Oklahoma City

Your journey begins with a private meeting at our downtown Oklahoma City office or via a virtual meeting if that’s what’s best for you. We'll discuss your unique situation, explore your goals, and outline potential approaches.

We'll prepare and file your divorce petition with the appropriate Oklahoma county court. This formal document states your intention to divorce and outlines your requested terms.

Oklahoma divorces typically take months to finalize. During this time, we can establish temporary arrangements for child custody, support payments, and use of marital property.

Both parties must provide complete financial information, including assets, debts, income, and expenses. We'll help you gather these documents, ensure your spouse provides full disclosure, and identify any hidden assets to protect your financial interests under Oklahoma's equitable distribution laws.

We'll represent your interests in negotiations with your spouse's attorney and during court-required mediation sessions. Our goal is to reach fair agreements on property division, child support, and parenting arrangements without costly litigation.

If settlement isn't possible, we'll present your case before an Oklahoma family court judge. With over 1,000 litigated cases behind us, we'll build compelling arguments supported by evidence, expert testimony, and thorough preparation to advocate for your desired outcome. Given our vast experience, we know the judges and court staff and can provide expert representation.

Once all issues are resolved, we'll prepare the final decree for the judge's signature. This legally binding document details all aspects of your divorce and officially ends your marriage, typically after Oklahoma's mandatory 90-day waiting period.

If substantial changes occur in circumstances affecting custody, support, or other arrangements, we can help you petition for modifications to your divorce decree to reflect your current situation.
