Property Settlement Agreement — What to Include (No Children)

All Marital Property

Real estate:

  • Legal description from deed
  • Agreed value; mortgage payoff; net equity
  • Who receives the property — or sale
  • Refinancing deadline (keeping spouse only)
  • Fallback
  • Quit Claim Deed → County Clerk recording

Financial accounts:

  • Each account opened or funded during the marriage → assign or split
  • Transfer instructions

Retirement accounts:

  • QDRO for employer plans (marital portion from marriage date to separation date)
  • IRA transfer incident to divorce

Vehicles:

  • Assign each vehicle; one spouse assumes the loan
  • Oklahoma Tax Commission title transfer

Personal property:

  • List significant items; residual "all remaining personal property" clause

All Marital Debts

  • Each debt assigned; indemnification language: "Spouse A assumes Debt X and holds Spouse B harmless"

Alimony

  • Award (type — support or in lieu of property; amount; duration; termination events) — OR
  • Waiver: "Each party waives any claim for alimony, now and forever"

Separate Property

  • Confirm each spouse's separate property; other spouse waives claim

The Brief Final Hearing

Oklahoma typically requires a brief final hearing even for uncontested dissolutions without children. Both Joint Petitioners (or the Petitioner in a solo filing) appear before the District Court judge. Expect:

  • 10–20 minutes
  • Testimony: your name, residency, marriage date, separation, incompatibility, that the PSA was freely signed
  • Judge reviews the PSA
  • Judge signs the Decree of Dissolution of Marriage
