Waiting Period Prior to Dissolution of Marriage in Oklahoma
In order to allow for the possibility of reconsideration and reconciliation, Oklahoma family law statutes require a ninety (90) day waiting period, after a Petition for Dissolution of Marriage has been filed, before a Oklahoma divorce can be entered by the court, if there are minor children of the marriage. This waiting period can be waived by the court for good cause, if the opposing party has no objection. Further, this waiting period is not applicable to some for cause divorces noted above.
