Contested and Uncontested Divorce Issues

In an uncontested divorce, each party agrees on the terms of the divorce or certain issues have been resolved before going to court. However, in a contested divorce, there may be one or several issues that need to be resolved. Common disagreements surround issues such as custody, child support, division of property, asset distribution, alimony, debt allocation, and others.

Division of Property

A house, the mortgage, vehicles, or even dividing assets like furniture or items that hold sentimental value can become a source of contention and it can become difficult to find a resolution. Our divorce attorneys have years of experience helping couples come to an agreement on these issues.

Temporary Solutions During the Divorce Process

In Oklahoma, after the Petition has been filed and served, the Automatic Temporary Injunction protects the parties from a spouse attempting to take inappropriate actions with the marital assets, marital debts or the children. The courts may also issue additional temporary orders regarding child custody, support or visitation, spousal maintenance, payment of debt, possession of property, regarding attorney fees and providing other injunctive relief proper in the circumstances.

There are a variety of challenges that can come during the divorce, and the team at Self & Spurgeon want to ensure that your life, or the life of anyone else involved, is disrupted as little as possible. This is especially important for children. We’ll be there to offer legal guidance and support throughout the case.

Going through a divorce is often an emotionally difficult and stressful process, and, often times, it’s not as simple as signing a document and parting ways. It is important that you hire a qualified divorce lawyer to help you through all items that come along with divorce proceedings. Here are some of the most common topics seen by our Oklahoma City divorce attorneys:

Child Support

There are many factors that are taken into consideration when the amount of child support is calculated. These factors typically include each parent’s income, each parent’s ability to pay, the income of the custodial parent if there is one, and the needs of the child, such as existing health insurance, education, day care costs, and the child’s existing standard of living. Again, our attorneys especially want children’s lives to be disrupted as little as possible when they are indirectly involved in a divorce. Learn more about child support here.

Child Custody and Visitation Rights

Similar to child support, there are also several factors that play a part in how the judge decides who gets custody of a child and how visitation rights are established. These factors can include the preference of the child, the relationship they have with each parent, mental and physical health of each parent, the wishes of the parents, the age of the child, living accommodations, the potential impact on the child’s education and other activities, and more. Learn more about child custody here.

Spousal Support/Alimony

When deciding spousal support or alimony, the judge aims to maintain the existing standard of living of each party. The judge will look at financials and assets, the duration of the marriage, professional experience and skills, earning potential, contributions to the marriage, future parenting responsibilities, and more. At Self & Spurgeon, our divorce attorneys will fight hard to ensure that you get the support you need. Learn more about alimony here.

Post-Divorce Modifications

After the divorce is finalized, if you believe certain terms are unfair, you have the right to potentially modify the judgments. If you believe you deserve a higher alimony payment, that you need more child support, or you weren’t awarded the visitation or custody rights you were expecting, Self & Spurgeon will help you achieve a more appropriate outcome. Learn more about post-divorce modifications here.
