UNCONTESTED DIVORCE

Uncontested Divorce Attorney in Norman, OK

An uncontested divorce provides a streamlined and amicable method for couples to legally dissolve their marriage. It involves both parties agreeing on all major issues, such as property division, child custody, and spousal support, without confrontation. This approach is efficient, cost-effective, and often much faster than contested divorces.

Negotiating an uncontested divorce in Norman involves adhering to specific local laws and procedures. For instance, Oklahoma law requires at least one spouse to be a resident for six months before filing. Additionally, there is a mandatory waiting period of ten days for divorces without minor children or ninety days for those involving minor children. Understanding these requirements is crucial for a smooth process from start to finish.

Why Choose an Uncontested Divorce?

Opting for an uncontested divorce brings numerous benefits. It reduces stress and tension, fostering a cooperative environment that can lead to better post-divorce relationships, especially when children are involved. Without lengthy court proceedings, the emotional and financial burden is significantly less. Moreover, an uncontested divorce allows for greater privacy, as personal details remain out of public court records. 

Working with our dedicated team at Nichols Dixon PLLC, you'll receive personalized attention and legal guidance to ensure all necessary paperwork is accurately managed. We focus on minimizing conflict and prioritizing your unique needs throughout the process.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is The First Step in Filing an Uncontested Divorce in Norman?

The first step involves filing a petition for divorce with the appropriate county court, where at least one spouse must have resided for six months. The petition should include all mutually agreed-upon arrangements concerning property, custody, and other relevant issues.

How Long Does an Uncontested Divorce Take in Norman?

The timeline for an uncontested divorce can vary. For couples without minor children, a divorce can be processed as quickly as ten days. However, those with minor children are subject to a mandatory ninety-day waiting period. Our attorneys help ensure the process remains on track and as brief as possible.

Do Both Spouses Need to Hire Separate Attorneys?

While a lawyer may only represent one of the parties in a divorce, an uncontested divorce often leads both parties to work through a single attorney. While one attorney may be utilized to prepare the paperwork and pleadings, it is almost always advisable for each spouse to seek independent legal advice and counsel prior to the entry of a final divorce decree. This ensures the agreement's fairness and that both parties are equally informed and advised. 

What if We Can’t Agree on Everything?

If disagreements arise, the matter may transition from uncontested to contested. Our attorneys at Nichols Dixon are well-versed in negotiation and mediation and can often help resolve disputes swiftly, realigning the divorce as uncontested.
