A process exists whereby individuals in Oklahoma may pursue the dissolution of their marriage without direct legal representation. This option, often sought for its potential cost-effectiveness, involves the parties navigating the legal procedures and paperwork independently to finalize their divorce.
The appeal lies primarily in reduced expenses associated with attorney fees. This can be particularly beneficial in situations involving uncontested divorces where both parties are in agreement regarding the terms of the separation, including property division, child custody, and support. Historically, the availability of resources and standardized forms has facilitated the adoption of this approach by some individuals seeking a more streamlined and affordable process.
