How Oklahoma alimony works

Purely discretionary — no formula Key factors: Recipient's demonstrated need for support, Other spouse's ability to pay, Length of the marriage, Spouses' ages, Each spouse's earning capacity, Spouses' physical condition and financial means, Standard of living during the marriage, Evidence of a spouse's ability to earn income, Time required for recipient to transition to self-support, Contributions to the marriage (homemaking, child-rearing), Value of liquid or income-producing assets awarded in the divorce Duration: Temporary alimony ends when divorce is finalized. Post-divorce alimony ends when total amount awarded has been paid. Longer marriages may result in longer alimony awards. A common rule of thumb is one year of alimony for every three years of marriage, but this varies. Oklahoma does not typically allow indefinite spousal support; divorce decree must state a total aggregate amount and payment structure.
