Oklahoma has two
types of divorce: absolute divorce
and limited divorce. An
absolute divorce, in legal ease, is a judicial
termination of a marriage based on marital
misconduct or other statutory cause arising
after the marriage ceremony. After getting
an absolute divorce in Oklahoma, which requires
six (6) months of residency, the status
of both the husband and wife become legally
single again.
A limited
divorce in Oklahoma is generally
known as a separation,
or a separation decree. A separation or
limited divorce means that the right to
cohabitation has been ended but you are
still legally married. At this point, you
are still considered married and the status
of you and your spouse is not altered.
Oklahoma was the first
state to introduce "no-fault divorce"
in 1953. By 1970 most states followed Oklahoma
introducing "no fault" divorces into state
law. Until then, fault-based divorce in
Oklahoma required one spouse to prove the
other was responsible for the divorce through
alleged adultery, cruelty, desertion or
drunkenness. Oklahoma no-fault divorce eliminates
the potentially embarrassing and undesirable
need for the court to know why you are getting
a divorce or who is to blame for your divorce.
