 Spousal support—often referred to as support alimony—may be awarded during a case on a temporary basis and, in appropriate circumstances, after the divorce is finalized. Oklahoma courts generally evaluate spousal support based on need and ability to pay, while also considering the realities of the marriage and each spouse’s financial circumstances. The goal is not to punish or reward, but to address legitimate support needs in a structured and legally supportable way.

Spousal support issues are often closely tied to property division and earning capacity, and the details matter. Whether you are seeking support or challenging a request, the outcome depends on clear evidence and a credible presentation of the financial facts. We help clients evaluate the strengths and risks of a spousal support claim, develop a practical strategy, and pursue results that are fair, sustainable, and consistent with Oklahoma law.
