Property Division Lawyer in Claremore & Rogers County
Dividing property in a divorce is rarely simple. Whether you're splitting a family home, business assets, retirement accounts, or debts, Oklahoma law requires an “equitable” division—but that doesn’t always mean 50/50. If you’re going through a divorce in Claremore, Rogers County, or Northeast Oklahoma, we’ll fight to make sure your financial future stays on solid ground.
How Property Division Works in Oklahoma
Oklahoma is an
equitable distribution state, which means courts divide marital property fairly—but not necessarily equally. The court considers many factors, including:
- Each spouse’s income & earning potential
- Who contributed what during the marriage
- Whether one spouse wasted or hid assets
- The value of separate property (owned before marriage)
- Who will have primary custody of the children
We help clients identify what’s truly marital property vs. separate property and protect what they’re entitled to under Oklahoma law.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What’s the difference between marital & separate property?
Marital property is typically anything acquired during the marriage. Separate property is owned before the marriage, or received through gift or inheritance, and kept separate.
Can I keep the house in the divorce?
Possibly. We can negotiate for you to keep the home, offset its value with other assets, or arrange a buyout. The outcome depends on equity, mortgage, and custody factors.
What happens to retirement accounts in Oklahoma divorces?
They’re often split using a QDRO (Qualified Domestic Relations Order). Even if only one spouse contributed, the portion earned during the marriage may be divided.
What if my spouse is hiding assets?
We work with forensic accountants and use discovery tools to uncover hidden income, property transfers, or underreported assets.
Can we divide property ourselves?
Yes. If both parties agree, we can formalize your agreement. If not, the court will divide property based on what it considers fair.
