How Divorce Affects Your Credit Score in Oklahoma (2026 Guide)

At a Glance

Residency requirement:

To file for divorce in Oklahoma, at least one spouse must have been a resident of the state for at least six consecutive months immediately before filing, and the filing spouse must have lived in the county of filing for at least 30 days (Okla. Stat. tit. 43 §102–103). Military members stationed at an Oklahoma base for six months also meet this requirement.

Filing fee:

$150–$260

Waiting period:

Oklahoma uses the Income Shares Model to calculate child support, as set forth in Okla. Stat. tit. 43 §§118–119. The court determines the combined gross income of both parents, references a Child Support Schedule to find the base obligation, and then allocates each parent's share proportionally based on income. Adjustments are made for health insurance premiums, childcare costs, and parenting time (shared parenting adjustments apply when the noncustodial parent has more than 121 overnights per year).
