Spousal Support Attorneys in Tulsa

Fighting for Your Best Interests

Establishing Alimony with Fair SolutionsOklahoma is a little different from other states in terms of spousal support, or alimony. In Oklahoma, there are no statutory guidelines for support and no presumption that the parties can expect support to maintain a standard of living similar to the one they enjoyed during the marriage. To receive spousal support in Oklahoma, the party seeking support needs to file a petition and show a legitimate need for support.

The Tulsa divorce attorneys at Hensley and Associates, PLLC can help you navigate this process and help you achieve your goals regarding alimony. Whether you are seeking support or hoping to avoid paying support, we can represent you with vigor.

Factors Considered in Determining Alimony in Oklahoma

When it comes to determining alimony in Oklahoma, the court takes several factors into consideration. These factors may include:

  • The length of the marriage
  • The financial needs and resources of each spouse
  • The age and health of each spouse
  • The standard of living established during the marriage
  • The earning capacity and employability of each spouse
  • Any contribution one spouse made to the education, training, or increased earning power of the other spouse
  • Any other factors the court deems relevant

Our experienced Tulsa spousal support attorneys at Hensley and Associates, PLLC can help you understand how these factors may apply to your specific situation and work to secure a fair alimony arrangement that protects your best interests.

How Is Alimony in OK Set Up?

The alimony laws in Oklahoma are problematic in a number of ways. Because the state does not have the same statutory guidelines as many other states, it is difficult to gauge how a case will play out. Each judge has tremendous leeway, so two very similar cases can result in thousands of dollars’ difference in their support judgments, depending on which judge the parties happen to get for their cases. With this kind of uncertainty, it is critical to work with a Tulsa alimony attorney who is thoroughly experienced and can help guide you through the process.
