Spousal support, also known as alimony, is a legal obligation for one spouse to provide financial support to the other spouse during or after a divorce. In Oklahoma, spousal support can be awarded by a court in certain circumstances, and it’s important to understand the factors that determine whether it will be awarded and how it will be calculated.

Also known as alimony, spousal support consists of monthly installments to whichever spouse could be said to have made less money than they otherwise would have due to parental obligations during the marriage. Unlike child support, there’s no set formula for determining spousal support.

Overnights are 12-hour periods of time spent with a child. They’re used to determine child support obligations.

Child support in Oklahoma can be affected by everything from number of children to childcare expenses. But the most important factors are gross income and the number of overnights.
